COPENHAGEN: Denmark is ready to invite foreign buyers to its North Sea oil and gas fields as the government looks for ways to ensure tax flows continue after its two biggest energy companies put their petroleum assets up for sale.
“Our priority is that the oil in the Danish North Sea will be extracted so that we have assets to tax,” René Christensen, who’s the finance speaker for the biggest party in Denmark’s ruling bloc, the Danish People’s Party, said in an interview in Copenhagen. “It doesn’t matter much to us if an oil producer is Danish or not.”
