Siluanov supports Gazprom.

The RF Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov believes that the tax burden on the gas industry can not be raised. He stated this commenting on the fact that oil companies had offered to increase tax on gas production in order to replenish the budget revenues.

"We believe that for natural gas companies, primarily for Gazprom, it is necessary to talk not about the load increases, but about a reduction of regulated gas prices in the domestic market", - Siluanov stated.
