Discussions will also focus on state-run chemical company Oltchim SA (OLT.RO), Traicu told Mediafax.
TISE, owned by Gazprom, is one of the companies interested in Oltchim, whose privatization fell through in September, after the auction winner failed to produce the money. TISE did not participate in the auction.
Debt-mired Oltchim currently operates at a capacity of 25-30%. Its revenues dropped 47% in the first nine months of the year to 721.9 million lei (EUR162.8 million), while losses increased 72% to RON308.5 million. (EUR1=RON4.522)
