Suspicion of tariffs not in line with Bruxelles regulation
04 February, 18:26
(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The European Union intends to examine all
the contracts stipulated between the Russian energy giant,
Gazprom, and companies in its member countries, amid suspicion
of unfair tariffs not in line with Bruxelles regulation, Tanjug
agency reported citing an article published by Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung.
According to the newspaper, the EU is interested in examining
all contracts with a duration of more than one year and a supply
covering over 40% of national demand.
Last April, the European Commission had accused Gazprom of
violating the EU single market rules by forbidding the resale of
gas among member countries, and of causing damage to competition
in Central and Eastern European markets, in which the Russian
giant operates as dominant supplier.(ANSA).
