Ukrainians demand a revision of tariffs for gas transit, in connection with which they filed another suit in the Stockholm Arbitration Court.

This is stated in the message of the Ukrainian company on Friday, July 6. "The transit contract between Naftogaz and Gazprom gives the parties the opportunity to demand a revision of the tariff if significant changes have taken place in the European gas market, and when the tariff does not correspond to the European level. In its decision of February 28, 2018, the Stockholm Arbitration rejected procedural reasons for Naftohaz's request for a tariff revision. Thus, the demand of Naftogaz about the revision of the tariff has in fact remained unresolved, "Ukrainians complain.

And insignificant sumnyasheya rolled the multibillion-dollar demand. Mitten has opened: "Naftogaz" requires a revision of the tariff from March 2013 and preliminarily estimates its cash requirements of $ 11.58 billion excluding interest ". As noted by the chief commercial director of the Ukrainian company Yuri Vitrenko, this amount could be reduced if Gazprom buys transit capacity after 2019, RIA Novosti reports.. Appetites Kiev commented deputy director of the Institute of National Energy Alexander Frolov. He explained in an interview with RT, from which Ukrainians drew such a figure. The expert recalled that in February of this year, the arbitration ruled in the suit of the Kiev company for $ 16 billion, which they claimed from Moscow as compensation for insufficient pumping and revision of tariffs in hindsight. "The court sided with Naftogaz and awarded" Gazprom "a $ 4.63 billion payment for under-utilized gas volumes, but rejected the Ukrainian company's demands for tariff revision. If we subtract $ 4.63 billion from $ 16 billion, then approximately the amount that they are now talking about is obtained.

That is, in principle, the court already said: "Take it easy!" But "Naftogaz" does not stop, "Frolov said.. In his opinion, in this case, Kiev has no prospects for a positive decision. "I can not imagine what exactly Naftogaz is counting on,.

In Ukraine, now begins the presidential campaign, and therefore, apparently, we must somehow show the current leadership that it is not a tussock borscht bread. If we start from normal business management and adequate legal practice, then, in my opinion, there are no chances. This is nothing more than a political PR, "he concluded.. Proceeding from the fact that today earlier information was received that the head of Naftogaz Andrei Kobolev was transferred for security reasons to a brand new armored Cadillac, the office can expect to receive at least some amount to pay for the car.
