石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯悉尼12月14日消息，澳大利亚反垄断监管部门将否决英国石油公司(BP)收购澳大利亚一个加油站网络的计划，监管部门反对该交易的理由是认为该交易可能显著减少零售燃料供应市场的竞争。 澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会早在数月前就对该交易表示了担忧。该部门认为即便BP提出打算出售从零售商Woolworths收购的部分加油站资产，也难以消除垄断担忧。 去年年底，Woolworths与BP达成具有约束力的协议，同意作价17.9亿澳元（约合13.6亿美元）将大约530个加油站和10多处开发用地出售给BP，资产出售所得将用于改善资产负债表状况和重新投资核心业务。该交易对Woolworths加油站的现有燃料提供商Caltex 澳大利亚公司带来冲击。 张春晓 摘译自 道琼斯 原文如下： Australia Regulator to Oppose BP Deal for Woolworths’ Gas Stations Australia’s antitrust regulator will block BP PLC’s (BP) planned acquisition of a network of gas stations across Australia, which it said likely would significantly reduce competition in retail fuel supply. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which had flagged its concerns several months earlier, said it had determined that a proposal from BP to sell some of the sites it aimed to acquire from retailer Woolworths Ltd. (WOW.AU) wouldn’t address its concerns. At the end of last year, Woolworths entered a binding agreement to sell a portfolio of about 530 gas stations plus more than a dozen development sites to BP for 1.79 billion Australian dollars (US$1.36 billion), aiming to use the proceeds to bolster its balance sheet and reinvest in its core operations. The deal was a blow to Caltex Australia Ltd. (CTX.AU), the existing fuel supplier to Woolworths’ outlets.
