There is a decision upon large diameter pipes, it is sad for Gazprom – Artemiev

​There is a decision of the President for large diameter pipes, it is not pleasant for Gazprom, the head of FAS, I. Artemiev, said.

FAS states that Gazprom purchases pipes at higher prices and considers necessary to exclude intermediaries from the chain of supplies. However, Gazprom said that it purchases pipes based on the price formula and intermediaries control the batching of supplies as they comprise various goods produced at different producers.
