In the leadership of "Naftogaz" sure that Ukraine will not have to prolong the transit contract with " Gazprom ", because the country in time to fulfill the requirements of the European Union. As I wrote on Facebook the Executive Director of the Ukrainian state-owned company Yuriy Vitrenko, " the government and the regulator said that Ukraine will manage to implement European rules before the end of the year." So he explained the message of V. V. Putin about the readiness of the capital of Russia to renew the transit Treaty for a year, if not signed a new one. According to Vitrenko, the national Commission for state regulation in energy and utilities needs to implement the European network codes into its regulations. The story is about the documents relating to balancing, distribution capacity tariffs. In addition, the Commission itself, as well as gas transmission system Operator must comply with European rules. Vitrenko believes that even if Kiev does not manage to implement EU standards, Ukraine will be able to apply "swaps" - short contracts at market prices. In addition, he called unacceptable the condition of the capital of Russia to Ukraine did not want from the requirement to pay for the decisions of the Stockholm arbitration. in September in Brussels held a new round of trilateral consultations between Ukraine, Russia and the European Commission about the conditions of use of the transit capacities of the Ukrainian GTS after the end of the current contract. the head of the Ministry of energy of Russia Alexander Novak and his Ukrainian colleague Alexey Orzhel found the meeting constructive, however, Oriel said that the risk not to sign a new agreement on the transit remains. Kiev plans to allocate activities for the transportation of gas from "Naftogaz" until January 1, 2020. The new Firm will be named " Operator of the gas transportation system of Ukraine ". As said Vice-President of the European Commission Maros Sefcovic, is it Moscow should discuss the rules of the new contract, because legally, Naftogaz no longer will be the operator GTS. <span style="color:darkgray
