Vladimir Dobrovolsky. The European Commission, Russia and Ukraine tripartite negotiations on winter gas package did not discuss gas supplies to areas controlled by the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, this Issue must be solved "Gazprom" and " Naftogaz of Ukraine ", said the Deputy Chairman of the EC on gas maro? ?ef?ovi?.

"at our last meeting in March raised the Issue of gas supplies to certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The question was how these regions will receive supplies who will supply them, through which the points of delivery and who will pay for gas, " said Sefcovic correspondents in Brussels.

He said that the story is about the area of armed conflict where it is difficult to assess the situation." at that moment we were asked to mediate, we sent observers in Kiev dispatch center to test the situation. But it is very difficult, it's old infrastructure, there is no proper measurement stations in those places where they have the opportunity to need, " said Vice-President of the Commission.

according to his statement, " it was decided that we would bring supplies to those areas outside of the winter package, put it in parentheses and ask the organization to separately consider the Issue separately."

"Today the situation is the same. Two organizations - "Gazprom" and "Naftogaz" is required to detect the release of this issue, " Sefcovic said.
