Minister of Economy Adriean Videanu yesterday announced that energy production could be privatized, but not through the sale of assets to strategic investors, but through the establishment of joint ventures with foreign investors. "Privatization will be qualitative and not quantitative. The focus will be on developing business and not on selling assets. We will seek opportunities to do business and not necessarily to sell everything. If we receive an offer we can"t refuse, we will consider selling majority stakes in one company or another," Minister Adriean Videanu said.
