TASS: Gazprom informs EC official on transit risks for European customers on Ukraine territory

Russian gas giant Gazprom informed on Wednesday Vice-President of the European Commission Maros Shevchovich on remaining transit risks for European customers on the Ukrainian territory.

Ukraine’s Naftogas national oil and gas company acquires less gas than agreed by Brussels deals, which leads to a fast reduction of gas reserves in underground storage facilities and retains transit risks for European customers at winter consumption maximums, Gazprom reported after a meeting between Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller and Vice-President of the European Commission of Energy Union Maros Shevchovich.

The two sides put an increased focus on implementing the agreements reached in Brussels on Russian gas deliveries to Ukraine by April 1, 2015. MORE
