Rules of the game for the Russian fuel and energy sector for the next 5 years are being written in Beijing.
Last week Russian fuel and energy companies were formally notified of their new strategic challenges, though perhaps still not all market participants adequately realized that fact. On Thursday Chinese authorities announced their feedback on the part of the environment - especially the emission of carbon dioxide and other grime. Li Keqiang personally called bad ecology "people's pain". And since in Beijing the position of the political leadership of the country is almost automatically put into the business plans of key companies, we can assume that now energy suppliers, including Russia, are provided with new procurement conditions until at least 2020, "the Kommersant" writes.
