Austria has has rejected reverse gas supplies to the Ukraine

OMV won’t carry our reverse gas supplies to the Ukraine harming the supplies to its main partners, the head of the company, G. Reuss said.

Even if we have a chance to hold short-term marginal supplies to other consumers, we won’t do that, he said. He also said the realization of the South Stream pipeline will play an important role in Austria’s energy safety and EU in general.

G. Reuss said he was aware of the possible blocking of the Russian gas transit via the Ukraine. Gazprom does everything possible to execute its obligations. The warning measures were approved in the framework of the supply diversification, he said.
