Uniper, the German energy company and utility, has launched an open season to test interest in Germany's first liquefied natural gas import terminal planned for the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the 28-nation European Union, has opened an anti-trust investigation into liquefied natural gas agreements between Qatar Petroleum and European energy companies and utilities, at the likely instigation of Germany whose natural gas mostly comes from Russia by pipeline.
