Moscow-Sana
The Russian company Gazprom stated that it is exporting gas to the European market in full compliance with contractual obligations and is also seeking to meet requests with additional supplies according to the available possibilities.
Gazprom is the main gas supplier to Europe, and its share of gas imports to the European market at the end of last year was 56 percent.
“Gazprom supplies gas to consumers in accordance with their requests, in full compliance with existing contractual obligations, and seeks to meet requests for additional supplies in accordance with the available capabilities,” the agency quoted the company as saying in a statement yesterday, commenting on the complaint of the European Parliament.
The European Commission announced earlier that it had received a letter from a number of members of the European Parliament requesting an analysis of Gazprom's practices in the gas market in the European Union.
