Ceska rafinerska (CRa), Unipetrol’s 51% subsidiary, held a press conference yesterday regarding the current situation on the domestic “fuel” market. Company’s management announced that CRa’s market share rose to 51% from 46% in the first four months of 2000. The company’s plan is to reach a 58% market share by the end of 2000, but we do not consider this realistic. The remaining 49% ownership share in CRa is held by international consortium made up of AgipPetroli International, Conoco Inc., and Shell Overseas Investments.
