\"\"<\/a>Europe has a “blockade” against Russian investors, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin charged in a speech in Berlin Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said Russian business wanted to acquire stakes in European Union (EU) companies but faced constant opposition.<\/p>\n

The Russian prime minister was set to meet later with Chancellor Angela Merkel after attending a business conference organized in the capital by a newspaper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.<\/p>\n

As an example, he spoke of vain efforts by Sberbank of Russia and a Canadian-Austrian car parts company, Magna, to acquire the General Motors subsidiary Opel last year.<\/p>\n

“The way this deal was torpedoed was a negative example,” Putin said.<\/p>\n

He said Russian investors tended to have doors slammed in their faces.<\/p>\n

Earlier, German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg told the same meeting that Putin’s suggestion for a joint Russian-EU economic zone was “an interesting proposal,” but added, “Obviously a lot of study of it would be needed.”<\/p>\n

Merkel appeared more cautious the previous day about the Putin proposal, which he made in a guest article for the Sueddeutsche Zeitung. dpa mfi jbp dms Author: Michael Fischer, Jean-Baptiste Piggin.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist!
