Rosneft in favor of Gazprom keeping its gas export monopoly - Sechin

NOVO-OGAREVO. Oct 23 (Interfax) - State oil company Rosneft is in favor of Gazprom retaining its monopoly for the export of gas, Rosneft President Igor Sechin told journalists on Tuesday.

"Gazprom can export gas and we support this setup. I believe that it would be harmful to shake up the organization of a single export channel," he said.
