OREANDA-NEWS. July 04, 2008. According to the united supervision department, Ukrtransgaz increased the transit of natural gas via Ukraine to Europe by 23% to 65,3 billion cubic meters in January-June 2008 year-on-year.
 
The gas transit growth was caused by the growth in export supplies to European countries by Gazprom to ensure an increasing consumption of natural gas by European states, the company's press service told.

According to the company, the record transit volumes once again confirmed that Ukrtransgaz is a reliable partner for Gazprom for the transportation of natural gas to European countries, while the Ukrainian route for gas transportation has substantial reserves.
