(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 03 MAG - China Energy Company Limited (Cefc) become a majority stakeholder of Kmg International, former Rompetrol group, Romania Insider reported. The company, now Dutch-based, operates mainly on the territory of Romania where it owns the nations' biggest oil refinery, Petromidia, as well as a network of fuel distributors. The move is based on the agreement signed last Friday between Cefc and the Kazakh public oil company (Kmg), which had acquired Rompetrol in 2007.

The agreement envisions a joint venture in which Cefc will own 51% while Kmg will control the remaining 49%. Cefc, according to the agreement, will be in charge of a series of investments in the EU and the neighbouring countries of the New Silk Road.(ANSA).
