June 28 (Bloomberg) — Gasunie NV, operator of the Dutch gas-pipeline network, is in a “phase of final decision-making” on a possible purchase of 9 percent of Nord Stream AG, said Pieter Trienekens, a Gasunie board member.
Nord Stream is an OAO Gazprom-led venture that’s building an underwater natural-gas pipeline linking Russia to Germany. Gazprom asked Gasunie to buy a 9 percent stake in the venture, Trienekens said at a gas conference in Amsterdam today, following similar comments made by company executives.
The 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) Nord Stream pipeline, due to become operational in 2010, is an effort by Gazprom to increase supplies to Western Europe and avoid transit countries such as Belarus and Ukraine.

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.
