LONDON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - The planned merger of Poland'stwo largest refiners PKN Orlen and Grupa Lotoscould restrict competition in the east Europeancountry, BP said in a statement on Wednesday.
The London-based oil and gas company has not filed anyofficial complaint with Polish or European Union authories butwill consider its options in the future, a company spokeswomansaid.
"If this merger were to go ahead, 95 percent of the(country's supply and infrastructure) market would be controlledby two companies," the BP statement said.
"We believe that a competitive market is in the bestinterest of Polish consumers and that this merger could restrictthat competition unless there is a guaranteed competitive costof supply and infrastructure access."(Reporting by Ron Bousso; Editing by Mark Potter)
