The law "On electricity and natural gas" on Thursday begins to act in Ukraine, which "Naftogaz of Ukraine" is losing the monopoly in the sphere of supply and sale of natural gas. "The main purpose of the legislation is the development of effective competition in the natural gas market taking into account the main requirements of EU law ", √ it is noted, for example, in the explanatory paper to the document, the news Agency. The law provides for the creation in Ukraine of full-fledged natural gas market, based on the principles of free competition with the right level of protection customers. In addition, the aim is to provide reliable energy supply and the ability to integrate the gas markets of the European energy brotherhood, as well as among them the development of regional natural gas markets. The document also provides for the separation of the functions of the organization " Naftogaz of Ukraine ". Accordingly, the function of the main transport of gas and its storage will be separated between them. Legally the entire transport infrastructure and storage underground gas (now they are managed by the Company "Ukrtransgaz" ) should be divided into two independent enterprises: a "Trunk pipelines Ukraine" and " Underground gas storages of Ukraine ". After the entry into force of the national Commission, carrying out state regulation in energy and utilities (CREATED), loses the right to set the price for gas for the needs of the inhabitants, Now these functions are transferred to the government. The Commission also will not set a limit (adjusted) gas price for budget organizations and industrial customers." The law of Ukraine On the gas market significantly changes the coordinate system and the gas market itself. The NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" is losing its monopoly both on the supply and sale of natural gas. We in fact build a fully demonopolization system of the European natural gas market, where supplier itself is defined, whom to sell and where, the consumer decides from whom to purchase ", - has declared the head of government Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
