The Ukraine will break WTO rules by not giving Gazprom access to its GTS
In the case of not giving Gazprom any access to the transformation of the Ukraine’s gas transport system into a JSC and the purchase of the gas assets the Government of the Ukraine will break the WTO rules, the press secretary of the Minister of Economic Development of Russia, E. Lashkina, thinks.
She reminded that before entering the WTO the Ukraine took obligations including in respect of the country’s pipeline transport. In conformity with these obligations, the Russian operators should be granted access to the services of the gas transport system without any restrictions as well as have the right for other forms of participation in this sector along with the Ukrainian companies.
