The Kazakh Minister of Oil and Gas Uzakbai Karabalin doesn’t rule out possibility to introduce limits for import of Russian gasoline into the republic in the current year.
“Today there are no any limits. At the same time, every year we receive information from entire Kazakhstan, from bases about remains (of petroleum, oil, and lubricants) and see that we have influx of Russian gasoline because the import of oil products isn’t regulated. We repeat the situation of the last year, when the stock of the AI-92 gasoline grew almost to 400 thousand tons that led to stoppage of our plants. We think that this is the worst variant,” – he said to journalists in Astana on Monday.
