"The export for oil and LPG is free, LNG has the ability for export. We believe that the possibility to free the export of network gas will also be, this is one of the issues being discussed. You know that in the decisions of the Presidential Commission on Energy the need of creating a level playing field was formulated as the principle. In particular, Gazprom says it has a duty to ensure the security of supply and to provide the population with gas at regulated tariffs. Independent companies don’t have such commitments.
