April 4 (Bloomberg) — The Russian government will consider within two months draft legislation to legally restrict foreign ownership of companies in strategic industries, including energy and metals.
The bill will set up a commission chaired by the prime minister to reject foreign bids for majority stakes in Russian companies across 40 industries deemed essential to national security, said Vladimir Taraskin, head of the Energy Ministry’s legal department.
The legislation comes after Royal Dutch Shell Plc and its partners agreed in December to sell a majority stake in the offshore Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project in the Russian Far East to state-controlled OAO Gazprom. After the sale, threats to cancel key permits for violations of environmental laws stopped.
The draft law “formalizes the procedures that already existed” Taraskin said today in Moscow. “Alcoa passed through such procedures successfully.”
Alcoa Inc. in February said it aims to break even in Russia by the end of 2007, almost three years after buying the Samara and Belokalitvinsk metals plants from Moscow-based competitor OAO Russian Aluminium.
BP Plc’s Russian unit, TNK-BP, and Total SA could risk losing licenses to major fields as state companies consider taking stakes in their projects.

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.
