French company fined $10mln for failure in Iran
French company Sofregaz has been fined $10 million for failing to implement a gas project in Iran.
An international court in France has voted that Sofregaz should pay $10 million to Iran for failing to meet its contractual obligations in establishing a gas storage facility in the country, IRNA news agency reported.
Sofregaz had signed a contract to establish Yurtsha gas storage facility in Iran's central city of Varamin.
Iran is currently constructing nine gas storage facilities in different provinces across the country.
