The economist: the EU is unlikely in winter will increase the reverse gas supplies to Ukraine
The scheme supplies the additional gas volume on the reverse of the European countries to Ukraine in Winter is unlikely to work, the EU will not be enough gas to meet its own use And resale to Ukraine, says Deputy Director for gas projects of national energy security Fund Alexey Grivas.

" currently, the European organization for this (reverse edit) go, they earn money. In winter, everything will be depending on how Ukraine will pay, And whether enough gas to meet the obligations in the European Union. Predict That Winter gas will not be enough, " said he Last news .

before the environment Agency citing the Deputy head of " Naftogaz of Ukraine " Alexander Todiychuk informed That Ukraine conducts dialogues with the European Union on the reverse sverhkontraktnogo the volumes of gas to cover the peak demand of the country in winter.

As for the possibility for capacities of future supplies, the specialist said That Now the reverse of Slovakia And Poland is at maximum volume, there is a possibility of increasing the Hungarian direction. However, " rather, it will be reduced supplies through Poland And Slovakia than the increase through Hungary ", - emphasizes Grivas.

in addition, According to the expert, Winter gas supplies to reverse from Europe have the opportunity to be disadvantageous for Ukraine." cost (for gas in the European Union in the Winter as amended) will increase to $ 400, And maybe higher. If we add a margin, as well as expenses for transportation, And so on, the price for Ukraine will be comparable to that currently in contact between Gazprom And Naftogaz. And this will be the price that Ukraine considers unfair. Turns out, it is illogical to buy gas at a price that " Naftogaz " long time no pays " Gazprom " And the question which he is judged, " he added Grivas.

After long And fruitless negotiations with Russian Gazprom on June 16, translated " Naftogaz " to advance, And now in the Ukrainian gas transport system are only transit volumes destined for Europe. As long as transit is part of the contract, However, And Gazprom, And the Commission did not rule out any issues in the Winter, when Ukraine will spend accumulated in its own storage resources.
