<p>The decision to seize Russian gas was taken by OMV after an arbitration tribunal ordered Gazprom to pay €230 million to OMV for irregularities in gas deliveries. Gazprom suspended deliveries, and OMV decided to seize the gas deliveries, seeing this as its last chance to recover the money. The sudden halt in the relationship between the two companies surprised many observers and is a blow to Gazprom's long-standing political and economic influence in central Europe.
