Belarus wants to reconsider agreement on shipment of Russian gas
Belarus will insist on reconsideration of the agreement on shipment of Russian gas. This was informed by the Deputy Minister of Economics of Belarus Anatol Filonau. According to the words of Filonau broadcasted by BELTA, next year prices for gas for Belarus will depend on prices for oil. This issue, he said, would be negotiated at the session of the Union Sate's Council of Ministers in the context of documents prepared in the gas sphere.
The official underlined that Belarus insisted on getting to equal income prices for gas at the same time as Russia. "For example, in 2014, when Russia plans to get to equal income prices for "Gasprom" for export and internal market." According to him, this will allow to create equal competition conditions for other manufacturers. Prices for energy products for Belarus are now higher than the Russian ones.
