Gazprom has reduced by 30 per cent the natural gas supplies to Romania, but Energy Minister Andrei Gerea maintains that no problems have been registered so far and the reduction ranges within the contract provisions.
'I can tell you that such a reduction ranges within, let us say, an average of the past few months, when we had constant reductions from the quantities requested, accounting for around 20-30 per cent. I would not say it is a reason of concern in particular. The system can currently deal with this and we shall analyse the problem. My colleagues have already been collecting data. We shall also prepare a more official position after we have all the data,' Energy Minister Andrei Gerea said according to Agerpres.
The Minister also underscored that for now there wasn't any problem and the supply reduction ranged within the contract provisions. Gerea pointed out he would come back with a more detailed plan during the day.
In October this year, Gazprom reduced several times the natural gas supplies to Romania.
