Rosneft: Gazprom is unlikely to agree on agent contract on export

Rosneft has estimated the probability of a positive response of Gazprom to the project of the agency agreement on gas export as extremely low, vice-president of Rosneft, director of the company’s gas business department Vlada Rusakova said in an interview with the RIA Novosti.

"Yes, we really sent a draft agency agreement to Gazprom Export. But we haven’t received an answer yet. And unfortunately, the probability of a positive response is very low, in spite of the positive response of various government departments, including the Ministry of Finance, which is interested in obtaining additional income to the budget," - said Rusakova.
