Rosneft asks the pipe to Europe, the victory of Apple developers, Biden will take revenge on explosions and a novel for technopessists

Sechin promised Putin to pay three times more from export gas than Gazprom. It's only about access to the pipe

Rosneft leaves no attempts to break into the Gazprom export system: Rosneft, Igor Sechin, the chief executive director of Rosneft, sent a letter to Putin in which he asks Rosneft to export 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Europe. The document got acquainted with the document.

• Sichin justifies the offer with concern for the budget: his company is ready to pay an increased personal income tax and even bind the tax not to contract, but to the exchange price of gas in Europe. This will require changes to the Tax Code, but will bring the budget an additional 37 billion rubles a year: Rosneft is ready to pay 5 thousand rubles from a thousand cubic meters, which is “more than 3.5 times higher than the current NPI rate for Gazprom.
• The oil monopoly does not ask gas direct access to the pipe (it will be arranged by an agency agreement) and does not apply for Gazprom's deliveries to customers. However, in the future, Rosneft does not exclude the growth of additional budget revenues up to 150 billion rubles a year. This already corresponds to 40 billion cubic meters. m - that is, in fact, the company aimed at the fifth of the European export of Gazprom.
• On what route Sechin wants to export gas is unclear. But the estimated volume of supplies corresponds to the free capacities of the OPAL gas pipeline (the land continuation of the Northern Stream - 1), and the letter states that deliveries “will help remove restrictions” by the EU antimonopoly legislation in relation to the acceptable loading of the Northern Stream - 1 and Northern Stream 2 gas pipelines, Kommersant notes.
• According to the publication, President Putin instructed to consider proposals to Sechin to the profile deputy prime minister Alexander Novak and the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov. The companies did not provide comments, but back in 2017, the then deputy chairman of Gazprom, Alexander Medvedev, said that the company does not have free capacities for Rosneft.
• Rosneft has been trying to access the European Pipe Gazprom for several years, but the current approach was made at a good moment in the weakness of the opponent. The letter was sent just when Gazprom tried to cope with the tense gas balance after a fire at a condensate factory in Urengoy in the context of half -empty storages in Europe and sport prices in the region of $ 500 per thousand cubic meters.
• The industry almost has no doubt that Gazprom will be able to fight back this time. “In its current form, this is just a matter of distribution of margin: it is not clear why it needs to be taken from Gazprom and give them to Rosneft,” says a source of the publication in a large gas company.
• With all the visible generosity of the Rosneft proposal, the current non -back when delivered to Europe with its largest gas project "Rospan" would reach $ 250. Accordingly, even after paying 5 thousand rubles, the NPPs of Rosneft would exceed 13 thousand rubles with the average price of Rosneft gas in the domestic market below 4 thousand rubles, the publication notes.

What am I to me?

If you distract from the battle of two giants, Sechin’s letter shows in which direction the Russian authorities can look for a detour of antimonopoly restrictions on the almost completed “northern stream - 2”. Just this week, the Nord Stream 2 operator lost the case of withdrawing a gas pipeline from the EU gas directive. In addition to separating production and transportation, the directive requires to reserve up to 50% of the power of the pipeline for pumping fuel from alternative suppliers.

MONEY

Apple will allow financial relations on the side

The collective lawsuit of the developers filed by Apple back in 2019 brought new fruits: the prepared transaction provides for the possibility of calculations in the Apptore applications outside the Apple ecosystem, writes The Wall Street Journal. The ability to avoid commissions is completely a great victory for developers, for most of which Apple has already reduced the standard commission from 30% to 15%. The agreement does not belong to the wider anti -Totrast claim by the creator of the Fortnite game, which is expected to be expected soon.

Our is equal to domestic

In the regulation of domestic software, which now only can be put on public procurement, important changes. From the draft government decree it follows that, in order to include in the register of domestic Minzifra, developers will be required to confirm not only exclusive rights, but also the presence of qualified programmers for technical support. But then the register will be able to get according to which Russian companies that have a head office abroad own, that is, Yandex and Mail.ru, experts say. At the same time, the industry association wants to equate domestic products with open source, thereby opening access to state -owned companies and subsidies. In this case, companies will prefer to develop software. But its security may be insufficient, they fear in the market.

AFGHANISTAN

Biden will take revenge

Yesterday's explosions series near the Kabul airport inflicted the largest one -time losses in 10 years in American armed forces: thirteen US troops and at least 90 citizens of Afghanistan were killed . “We will find you and force you to pay,” President Joe Biden swore the day before, referring to customers. The evacuation of such a scale (in two weeks of 100 thousand people) it is impossible to stop or somehow effectively protect, so there is no tactical alternative to its speedy completion-even if new terrorist attacks are threatened. The Afghan branch (the Islamic state prohibited in Russia) with which Taliban officially struggles (prohibited in Russia) was officially struggling (prohibited in Russia). If the evacuation, with all its tragedy, passed without sacrifices, this would be a great achievement of Biden, but now there is no need to talk about it anymore, Bloomberg notes .

New Roman for Technopessimists

The writer Dave Eggers, known in his anti -utopian novel, “Sphere”, released a new book called “Everyone” (EVEY). According to Quartz, his universe greatly resembles our current reality, rising a step higher - for example, a smart speaker is depicted there, which captures what is said by people and warns the police if there is reason to suspect domestic violence. Or shows applications that track how much sleep and physical exercises you performed in a day (hello, Apple Watch). Eggers creates a world in which veiled Facebook and Amazon united to become Eve - a powerful digital monopoly. Why is the book worth reading? Because it sets out the worst scenario of technology development, which for the time being may seem normal - as now. Read more on Quartz.

The remoted increases productivity

Office slavery was indignant in the 19th century. For the first time in several centuries, the pandemic launched a radical transformation of the professional life of “white collar”. According to the results of a recent study with the participation of more than 30 thousand employees in the United States, remote work even one day a week will increase performance by 4.8% with the final restoration of the economy after the coronavirus, writes Bloomberg. The basis of this effect is a reduction in the unproductive time to travel to work and vice versa. Interestingly, the benefits of the remote was known to Locksuns - the study of Stanford University in 2013 showed that work at home could increase the performance of employees by as much as 13%.
