Concurrence » The president of the Swiss Gas Industry Association (Asig), Martin Schmid, rails against the Federal Competition Commission (Comco), responsible according to him for hindering a rapid supply of gas.
“For Comco, cartel law takes precedence, even in the event of a crisis,” said the liberal-radical states adviser in an interview published by the titles of CH Media. “It really irritated me that Comco did not agree to a pragmatic solution,” he continued, castigating the regulator for the “lost time”, during which gas prices continued to rise. increase.
The Graubünden senator now expects the additional costs of gas supply to be higher than the estimate of 500 to 800 million francs articulated at the end of June.
