El Pais – Spain: Galp finalises purchase of Shell’s Spanish petrol station network
Sep 03, 2004
Portuguese petrochemicals group Galp is now just one step away from acquiring no less than 264 or Anglo-Dutch counterpart Royal Dutch Shell’s 388 petrol stations in Spain.
Only two issues remain to be finalised: the UK firm’s 5 per cent stake in Spanish fuel distributor Compania Logistica de Hidrocarburos (CLH), and Shell’s 74 petrol stations on the Canary Islands.
After yesterday’s meeting between representatives of Shell and Galp, sources within the sector said that the Galp offer was the best that had been put on the table. The sale would be worth between 320m and 500m euros, depending on the assets involved.
On June 25, Shell sold its 303 petrol stations in Portugal to Spanish counterpart Repsol YPF for an undisclosed sum.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
