Austria's energy chief stated that the decision for OMV AG to exit its long-term gas contract with Gazprom lies with the company's executives and shareholders, as the risk of blackmail over supplies has diminished. The contract, established in 2018, extends until 2040 and has come under scrutiny following OMV's €230 million arbitration win against Gazprom, which halted fuel deliveries in response to the settlement claim.
