Yunipro : Russian commission could consider Fortum-Uniper by year-end - Interfax

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian government commission that reviews deals involving foreign investors could consider before the end of the year Finnish utility Fortum to raise its stake in Germany's Uniper, Interfax reported.

Russian regulators have so far capped Fortum's ownership in Uniper at 49.99% due to a strategic water licence operated by the German firm's Russian subsidiary Unipro.
