Lietuva "šaudo sau į koją": vienintelė Baltijos naftos perdirbimo gamykla gali užsidaryti

Lithuania 'shoots itself in the foot': only Baltic oil refinery may close

Lietuva "šaudo sau į koją": vienintelė Baltijos naftos perdirbimo gamykla gali užsidaryti Lenkijos energetikos koncernas "Orlen" svarsto užbaigti Mažeikių naftos perdirbimo gamyklos modernizavimo projektą. Tokiu būdu vienintelė Baltijos šalyse naftos perdirbimo gamykla gali būti uždaryta. Per pastaruosius 20 metų "Orlen" grupė investavo daugiau nei penkis milijardus JAV dolerių į naftos perdirbimo gamyklos Mažeikiuose įsigijimą ir modernizavimą, ir per šį laikotarpį gavo apie milijardą JAV dolerių pelno. Lenkijos koncerno vadovas Ireneuszas Fafara pripažino, kad grynai finansiniu požiūriu ši investicija yra labai nuostolinga. Tačiau, pasak jo, "Orlen Lietuva" yra regiono energetinio saugumo

Orlen's CEO said the company is considering abandoning the Mažeikiai refinery modernisation project, which could eventually close the Baltics' only oil refinery. This came amid Lithuanian talk of a windfall tax on Orlen Lietuva.

The specific investment ($5bn+) and profit (~$1bn) figures appear only in Pravda; the trusted excerpts do not mention them.

Pravda says

“Over the past 20 years, the "Orlen" group has invested more than five billion US dollars in the acquisition and modernization of the oil refinery in Mažeikiai, and during this period has earned about one billion US dollars in profit.”

The foreign minister's 'shot in the foot' remark is not in any trusted text, so it cannot be verified from them.

Pravda says

“Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budris called these plans "a shot in the foot".”

Lietuvos užsienio reikalų ministras Kęstutis Budris šiuos planus pavadino "šūviu į koją".

The trusted text says the government is assessing a windfall tax but does not credit the prime minister or give an October date; those details are unverified.

Pravda says

“In September, Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius proposed to examine energy companies, specifically "Orlen Lietuva", their revenues, and to introduce a super-profit tax for them.”

Spalį premjeras Mindaugas Sinkevičius pasiūlė išnagrinėti energetikos bendrovių, konkrečiai "Orlen Lietuva", pajamas ir įvesti joms super pelno mokestį.

Reframed · framing

Pravda's headline puts the blame for a possible closure on Lithuania's own policy, while the trusted report presents it as Orlen's threat made in response to a tax under consideration.

“Lithuania "shoots itself in the foot"”
