Nord Stream will be a route for short-term supplies of Russian gas to Europe
Nord Stream will be a route for short-term supplies of Russian gas to Europe. “Gazprom export” starts auctions of a new type.
“Gazprom export” intends to test a new mechanism of gas sale in Europe and thus announces a gas auction.
This form of sales will be the additional tool which is not an alternative to the system of long-term contracts which provide energy safety of Europe.
Short-term export supplies will be tested not by Nord Stream.
The auction of “Gazprom export” on gas sale for export by Nord Stream doesn’t presuppose the reduction of the price by the application of a buyer. Basic price is offered to buyers. If the application contains the price lower than the basic price, it will be rejected at once.
