石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯悉尼12月14日消息，澳大利亞反壟斷監管部門將否決英國石油公司(BP)收購澳大利亞一個加油站網絡的計劃，監管部門反對該交易的理由是認為該交易可能顯著減少零售燃料供應市場的競爭。 澳大利亞競爭與消費者委員會早在數月前就對該交易表示了擔憂。該部門認為即便BP提出打算出售從零售商Woolworths收購的部分加油站資產，也難以消除壟斷擔憂。 去年年底，Woolworths與BP達成具有約束力的協議，同意作價17.9億澳元（約合13.6億美元）將大約530個加油站和10多處開發用地出售給BP，資產出售所得將用于改善資產負債表狀況和重新投資核心業務。該交易對Woolworths加油站的現有燃料提供商Caltex 澳大利亞公司帶來沖擊。 張春曉 摘譯自 道瓊斯 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.
