"Gazprom" will replace the fuel RosUkrEnergo in Poland.

"Gazprom" has agreed to assume the contract of RosUkrEnergo to supply 2.5 billion cubic meters of gas to Poland. This Russian company has agreed with the Polish gas company PGNiG, writes the newspaper Kommersant. In return, Poland renounces claims to RosUkrEnergo at $ 60 million and may reduce the rate of transit of Russian gas.
Recall that RosUkrEnergo halted gas deliveries to Poland in the course of Russian-Ukrainian gas war and since then they have not resumed. Poland annually consumes 13.7 billion cubic meters of gas, of which 30 per cent produces itself. RosUkrEnergo has been second after Gazprom's supplier of fuel in Poland, providing 18 percent of total gas consumption in the country.
The newspaper notes that the replacement RosUkrEnergo to Gazprom Poland still needs to be signed addition to the intergovernmental agreement with Russia, specifying the additional amount of supply. It is expected that this will be done in the coming weeks.
For the first time Poland has expressed a lack of supply of Russian gas 22 Jan, 2009, when it became known that the country received only half of it earmarked fuel. The next day the chairman of Gazprom Alexei Miller said that the insufficient supply of Russian gas to Poland are connected with the activities of intermediary - RosUkrEnergo.
RosUkrEnergo, registered in Switzerland, half owned by Gazprom and half - Ukrainian businessmen, including Dmitry Firtash. According to agreements reached between Ukraine and Russia in mid-January 2009, the company was excluded from the scheme of Russian gas supplies to the Ukrainian side.
Interestingly, these agreements do not relate to the export activities of RosUkrEnergo. Previously, the company has been Uploaded to the gas storage facility in Ukraine 11 billion cubic meters of gas, but in March it was reported that the Ukrainian Customs moved the fuel to the balance of state "Naftogaz Ukraine". This has led to loud political scandal in Ukraine, while RosUkrEnergo fact remains without the possibility to export the fuel to its counterparties in Eastern Europe.
