After failing to attract a privatization partner in 2013, Greek gas supplier Depa appears to have lost a chief executive and is still waiting for a new pricing deal with Russia's Gazprom, Harry Sachinis told Reuters last week he had accepted an offer to become a partner in Greek investment fund Global Finance "now that negotiations with Gazprom are nearing their end," but would continue as Depa boss until the Greek government replaced him. But Depa told WGI this week that negotiations with the Russians have not finished, and it had no comment on Sachinis' resignation statement Greek newspaper Ekathimerini on Jan. 31 cited "Gazprom sources" as suggesting a deal in principle had been reached, but Greek government officials deny this. The newspaper said Greek sources claimed the price might be cut to $400/Mcm ($11.11/ MMBtu) from the current $460/Mcm.
