Ukrinform
The system of relations and pricing in the field of gas transportation in accordance with the rules of the European Union has been introduced in Ukraine.
Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolev said this in a commentary to an Ukrinform correspondent in Brussels.
"Ukraine has introduced a new system of gas transportation relations. It applies not only to Gazprom but any company that wants to transport gas through Ukrainian territory. It will be transported according to the European rules," he said.
According to Kobolev, the new system eliminates the concept of "transit", which is replaced by the definition "export through input-output system." The transportation tariffs are calculated by the national regulator basing on the EU approaches.
