"Gazprom" to sign additional contract with Belarus
"Gazprom" expects to sign an additional contact with Belarus for 2010 soon. It will allow to increase the transit tariff for Russian gas. An official representative of “Gazprom” Sergei Kupriyanov has claimed about it today, on June 25, reports RIA “Novosti”.
According to the current gas supplies and transit contract, “Gazprom” thinks that it owes nothing to Belarus. The Russian holding company has already agreed with Belarus about the additional contract for 2010 and it is going to sign it soon.
According to Kupriyanov, the additional contract will allow to increase the transit tariff on condition that Minsk increases the domestic wholesale prices “Beltransgaz” sells gas at.
