South Stream Transport, the Gazprom-led venture planning a natural gas pipeline to the European Union, elected its board after Wintershall and Electricite de France formally joined the project.
Henning Voscherau, former president of Germany's upper house of parliament, was elected board chairman, Gazprom said Friday. Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller and his deputy Alexander Medvedev were also named to the board.
The other board members are ENI CEO Paolo Scaroni, EDF CEO Henri Proglio and Harald Schwager, a board member at BASF, according to the statement.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
