“Gazprom”, “Naftogaz” to $ 2.6 billion.

A Dutch court at the request of “Naftogaz of Ukraine” seized assets “Gazprom” in the Netherlands. The Russian company is the Ukrainian 2.6 billion dollars according to the decision of the Stockholm arbitration adopted in February 2018. To repay a debt, she willingly wants to.

In the Netherlands there are seven subsidiaries of “Gazprom”. In particular, in the Amsterdam office of Gazprom International. This company participates in the international projects “Gazprom” in the world. There is also Gazprom Energy.

In “Naftogaz” reported that “six of the seven subsidiaries of “Gazprom” in the Netherlands refused to cooperate with the bailiffs. However, all this does not affect the arrest.”

“Naftogaz” will use all available legal means and instruments to enforce decisions and to receive from Gazprom the amount awarded. Unfortunately, the Russian company acts in bad faith, as not performing the arbitration decision and orders of the European courts of other jurisdictions,” said Chairman of the Board “Naftogaz” Andrew KOBOLEV.

The total amount needed to pay Gazprom by the decision of the arbitration is 4.63 billion dollars. However, “Naftogaz” has 2.1 billion dollars. So in the end the debt is only in Russian companies.

“The Tribunal has awarded Gazprom to pay Naftogaz 4.63 billion dollars compensation for losses due to violation of the terms of the transit contract. We have actually received $ 2.1 billion, which according to the decision on transit was credited as payment for gas supplied to Naftogaz by Gazprom in 2014-2015. Now we are working to get the rest”, — explained chief commercial officer of the group of “Naftogaz of Ukraine” Yuriy Vitrenko.

In the Ukrainian company are reminded that in April 2014, Gazprom increased the gas price for “Naftogaz” more than 80%. This happened a few days after the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. “Naftogaz” appealed against this unjustified raising of prices in the arbitration, and the Tribunal reduced the charge for the gas selected in 2014-2015, approximately $ 1.8 billion. In addition, the Tribunal rejected the claim of “Gazprom” on the principle of “take or pay” how excessive that saved the “Naftogaz” is about $ 77 billion before completion of the term of the contract in 2019.
