!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 2008, Ukraine will not increase natural gas transit tariffs.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, Yulia Tymoshenko claimed this to a press conference in the Cabinet of Ministers today.

At the same time, the tariffs on storing natural gas in underground depositories must be revised, as the agreements with RosUkrEnergo and Ukrgaz-Energo were signed on low tariffs, she said.

“The real market price will be paid for storing natural gas”, Yulia Tymoshenko stressed.
