Gazprom, Ukraine discuss boosting gas transit to Europe in 2007

15:07 15/12/2006

MOSCOW, December 15 (RIA Novosti) - The head of Gazprom [RTS: GAZP] and Ukraine's fuel and energy minister discussed Friday a possible increase of Russian natural gas transit via Ukraine to Europe in 2007, the energy giant said.

"They discussed in detail a possible increase of Russia's natural gas transit via Ukraine to Western Europe in 2007," Gazprom said in a statement following a meeting between Alexei Miller and Yuriy Boiko.

The European Union, which imports more than a quarter of its oil and natural gas from Russia via Ukrainian pipelines, faced a brief disruption last winter when Moscow suspended gas deliveries to Ukraine over a price dispute, sparking doubts over Russia's reliability as a supplier.
