EUBusiness.com: EU Commission approves Repsol’s acquisition of Shell Portugal assets
14 September 2004
The European Commission said Tuesday it had approved the acquisition by Spain’s Repsol YSF of most of the Portuguese products and businesses belonging to Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell.
The executive arm of the European Union determined that the transaction would not raise competition concerns since other large and capable players compete in the market.
It said the new entity would face competition from Portugal’s Galp, BP PLC, Cepsa, Exxon Mobil Corporation and a number of independent companies.
The bid for Shell’s operations in Portugal was announced by Repsol on June 25 and covers 303 service stations, direct sales of fuel and asphalt, marine fuel and storage facilities. Among activities excluded in the deal is Shell’s lubricant business in Portugal.
The deal will enable Repsol YSF to become Portugal’s third largest oil industry operator with 417 service stations and 19 percent of the service station market.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. 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.
