(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 04 GEN - Greek company OKTA, which supplies
75% of Macedonia's market with oil, has issued a statement
announcing that it is leaving the country, The Balkan Insight
reported. OKTA said that the oil pipeline linking Skopje to
Thessaloniki has not been operational for years and the
government has not contacted the company on this issue for 11
years. Another problem relates to the new law on energy, which
only regulates natural gas and power supply.
OKTA supplies 75% of the FYROM's market with fuels and it pays around 250 million euros worth of tax. The ministry of Economy has announced that it will soon meet with representatives of the Greek company to hear out their demands.
