Šéf NATO Jens Stoltenberg napísal, že s fínskym prezidentom o poškodení plynovodu hovoril a aliancia zdieľa informácie a „je pripravená podporovať dotknutých spojencov“.
We are currently seeking the most optimal answer to all legal questions arising from this project, said European Commission’s vice-president for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic.
The daily gas transport capacity between the Czech Republic and Slovak is set to increase from 67 million cubic meters to 120 million cubic meters in three years.
The daily gas transit to Ukraine via Vojany-Uzhgorod reverse gas pipeline has reached less than 19 million cubic meters over the first days of the year 2016. Gas transit even dropped to roughly 12 million cubic meters on Wednesday.
The Slovak-Hungarian gas pipeline officially started commercial operation in July 2015. However, gas traders have showed no interest in transporting gas via this new pipeline.
Ukrainians have been using the capacity of Vojany-Uzhgorod gas pipeline to roughly 50 percent since early September, as their daily gas shipments from Slovakia are roughly 23.5 million cubic meters.
Slovak natural gas carrier Eustream has chosen in the public procurement Munich-based company ILF Beratende Ingenieure GmbH to develop project documents and perform engineering activities related to gas pipeline with our northern neighbour.
According to the Slovak natural gas carrier Eustream, the Hungarian partners have not yet handed over the Slovak part of the section crossing the river Ipel to the Slovak partners built between villages Slovenske Darmoty and Balassagyarmat.
Eustream has been transferring 50 percent less gas to Ukraine since May. According to European Commissioner Maros Sefcovic, every company strives for the biggest profitability of its operations and therefore the price is decisive when purchasing gas.
Prime Minister Robert Fico is convinced that gas supplies from Slovakia to Ukraine through the main gas pipeline would mean a breach of contractual conditions with the Russian Federation.
