EU: Ukraine should buy maximum amount of reverse gas

Ukraine should use diversification of gas supply at full capacity and sign agreements with other European countries on reverse supply, head of operations section in the fields of energy, transport and environment of the EU delegation to Ukraine Walter Tretton told a press briefing during the round table "Policy of energy efficiency and increase in public awareness: responsibility and cooperation," ForUm correspondent reports.

According to the expert, if there is a possibility to continue a development of this field, it should be used to the maximum. "The EU always listens to the needs of Ukraine, when it requests. If Ukraine takes a step forward, it will be able to count on the benefits of membership in the energy community," the analyst noted.

Tretton stressed that the problem of Ukraine lies in its inability to dispose properly the energy resources. "It is necessary to develop a number of programs that will help to control the energy and to allocate funds for education on energy efficiency," the expert said.
