Explaining the complaints Gazprom, "Naftogaz of Ukraine" says that the Ukrainian side the unselected gas Firm did not pay, as the requirements of "take or pay", as if it does not conform to the contract.
Gazprom is not the first time puts Naftogaz accounts, pointing to the paragraph of the 2009 contract, which, in the opinion of Gazprom, holds the position of " take-or-pay ". Such accounts were never accepted as they are, in the opinion of " Naftogaz ", do not conform to the contract. In addition, among the "Naftogaz" of the claim Is the requirement of recognition of this paragraph of the contract is invalid ", - reported in circulation Ukrainian organization, RIA " Novosti ".
NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" along with that welcomes the intention of Gazprom to give their complaints to the Ukrainian organizations to the arbitration Tribunal." Arbitration is the most civilized way to resolve commercial discussions If the parties do not have the ability to detect agreement through negotiations, "- said the head of "Naftogaz" Andrey Kobelev, explaining the message of his Russian counterpart Alexei Miller. We emphasize that the message of "Naftogaz" on the inconsistency of the requirements of the take-or-pay contract with Gazprom is a direct lie. In paragraph 2. 2. 5 contract clearly States that "for each year of Delivery, the consumer must select and pay for, or pay, If the number was provided by the Seller, but not selected by the Buyer More than the following Minimum Annual number (the" CIM " ) of Natural gas: CIM = 0, 8 x SCC (Annual Contract Quantity) ". Earlier on Thursday the head of the Russian holding company Alexey Miller said that Gazprom puts Naftogaz penalty for the gas shortage in 2014, 8, 2 billion. In the end the total amount of Ukraine's debt to Russia for gas, together with penalties for failure to comply with Contractual rules "take or pay" has increased to 29, 477 billion, said the head of Gazprom." There is an agreement that Gazprom from 1 November 2014 for five months does not impose penalties to Ukraine in the framework of the rules of " take or pay ". However, There is the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 October 2014, in Accordance with the contract, Gazprom is obliged and Ukraine imposes punitive punishment for "take or pay" for 2014, " said Miller. According to his statement, representation on the penalty at 8, $ 2 billion will be aimed Naftogaz, and similarly to the Stockholm Arbitration. If the fines Gazprom has exhibited in the past, then the lawsuit delivers the the first time.
