Statements by the
Ukrainian side on readiness to return to the issue of the Russian - Ukrainian
gas transportation consortium give us hope that we might start the work of the
consortium soon, Deputy Chairman of the board of the public joint-stock company
Gazprom Aleksandr Medvedev told journalists Tuesday, Cabinet press office reported.
According to Medvedev,
the Russian - Ukrainian gas transportation consortium was supposed to enhance
and reconstruct the existent gas transportation system of Ukraine and develop new
transportation capabilities. We planned to attract not only Germany, but also
Italy and French partners into the project.
The Gazprom
representative rejected all accusations of Russia's strive to attain control
over the Ukrainian gas transportation system. "We have always stuck to the
principle of parity and mutual profitability. Our readiness to cooperate in the
project is connected with the need to maintain the system, including its export
operations," he stressed.
