Poland and Ukraine Sign Gas Deal
December 17, 2014
Polish and Ukrainian state gas pipeline operators signed an agreement on Wednesday to look into expanding their capacity to transport gas between the two countries, the Polish pipeline group Gaz-System said in a statement. Poland, along with other Central and Southeast European countries, gets most of their gas from Russia and wants to cut dependence on it, particularly as the crisis between Ukraine and Russia could affect deliveries this winter. Gaz-System and its Ukrainian counterpart Ukrtransgaz will do a feasibility study to see whether to expand their gas pipeline systems, Gaz-System said.
