Grachev: the law of the Ukrainian GTS is unlikely to interested investors from Europe
Washington Can take advantage of the opportunity created by the government of Ukraine operator of the gas transportation system (GTS) of the country in which up to 49% will be able to get investors from the US and the EU, and to exert pressure on the " puppet " the Ukrainian government said Last news head of the state Duma energy Ivan Grachev.
Parliament on Thursday passed a law according to which the operator will be entitled to management and/or concession or lease " main gas pipelines and underground storage facilities. In addition, the law allows the government of Ukraine to make a separate operator's underground gas storage facilities, where American and European investors will also be able to get up to 49%.
at the insistence of the people's representatives in the document was subject to normal approval of the shareholders of the operator GTS specifically by the Verkhovna Rada. As said Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, At this time there is no queue of those wishing to invest in the Ukrainian GTS. However, in his vision, the adoption of the law will be the first step in order to attract investors from the US and the EU, and to protect the construction of the gas pipeline " South stream ".
reviews Grachev, this project would not be interested Western partners." Forty-nine % a little. It seems to me that the overwhelming number of real players will not be interested. Maybe America will use them in the truth, because from the standpoint of Their chance to crush Ukraine in terms of the puppet government, May, 49% satisfied, " said the MP.
However, the people's choice doubts that European partners will participate in the project." Europeans, it seems to Me that it is not satisfied, because German business is unambiguous business: without the participation of Russia, these projects are not interesting, because there the gas will run out, and Russia there (as operator GTS) will not participate, " said Grachev.
The Ukrainian government had approved a reform of Naftogaz of Ukraine ", which will be allocated joint stock company " Main gas pipelines of Ukraine " and " Underground gas storages of Ukraine ". They are expected to be subordinate directly to the " Ukrtransgaz ", which will be the operator GTS instead of " Naftogaz ". The latter will continue to deal with gas supplies, including purchases in foreign markets.
