Preem

Preem, one of Sweden's largest fuel and energy companies, is being discussed. The company operates refineries in Lysekil and Gothenburg and a nationwide network of stations. No specific event, statement or development is given, so it is unclear what exactly prompted the renewed interest in the company.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has moved to dismiss a multistate lawsuit challenging its preemption determinations covering national bank mortgage escrow practices. A coalition of state attorneys general had contested the agency's actions, arguing they improperly shield national banks from state consumer protection rules. The dismissal motion escalates a broader fight between federal regulators and states over authority in consumer mortgage regulation.
