Kiev still do not agree on the proposal of the Russian gas price
Kiev still do not agree on a consensus on the price of gas from Russia as discounts $ 100 due to export duties, said the head of Ministry of energy of Ukraine Yuriy Prodan, quoted by the press service of the Ministry.
on the last working day of the week in the Russian capital were dialogues between Russia and the EU on gas issues. According to their results, the Russian energy Minister Alexander Novak said that the Russian Federation is ready in the form of temporary price of gas, in consideration of the mutual claims of " Gazprom " and " Naftogaz "to set the proposed first 385 dollars per thousand cubic meters, which are obtained through the use of contract price discounts of $ 100 due to the decrease in export duties.
" The Ukrainian side was disappointed at the lack of a constructive approach with the Russian side in the negotiations on the settlement of the issue of gas supplies to Ukraine. Again we hear the price 385 dollars through the use of so-called discounts of $ 100 to the price of 485 dollars at the expense of the cancellation fee. That is, in the opinion of the Russian side, the value of 485 dollars is a fair and market. We believe that this cost is discriminatory, " said Sold.
" Our last suggestion is to calculate the price based on the level of prices prevailing on the European gas hubs, reducing it by the amount of the cost of transportation of gas from the Russian border in the EU. What value has the opportunity to be more market-based than market value?" - added the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of energy.
