Access of Rosneft and Novatek to export of pipeline gas to be unprofitable for Russia

Gazprom has considered access of independent producers to export of pipeline gas inappropriate - this creates competition among Russian energy suppliers, which is disadvantageous for the national interests, says deputy chairman of Gazprom Valery Golubev.

"If we talk about the European policy, about a single export channel, it is our national interests, why should we do compete with each other?" - Golubev said.
