Russia’s national gas utility Gazprom may sign new gas deals with Poland in October, the Prime-Tass economic news agency said on Wednesday, referring to Gazprom deputy chairman Alexander Medvedev.
According to the Gazprom executive, last week the sides held talks on the matter, attended by observers from the European commission. “The last talks were constructive, we made certain amendments to the initialled agreements, which, however, did not change their essence. If the Polish side endorses the documents, they will be signed in October, and Poland will receive as much gas as it needs,” Medvedev said.
In the mean time, he stressed that the sides were resolute not to revise the current Polish intergovernmental agreements. “As a European Union member, Poland has undertaken to bring its laws in line with the European legislation but it has taken the most radical version of the third energy package, not in force as of yet,” he added.
