Gazprom Slows Pipeline Cooperation In Poland
January 17, 2007
January 17, 2007 -- Russian natural-gas monopoly Gazprom is partially suspending cooperation with the operator of the Polish segment of a gas pipeline running to Western Europe.
Poland's state-owned gas monopoly PGNiG said the move comes after it rebuffed a Gazprom request for lower transit fees for the transit of Russian gas through the Yamal-Europe pipeline.
A Gazprom official acknowledged disagreements over tariffs.
