OREANDA-NEWS. To ensure stable supplies of natural gas to Ukraine and increase competition in the domestic gas trading market, NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine invites interested companies to use available gas transmission capacities booked by Naftogaz at Budince interconnection point on the Ukrainian-Slovak border.

Naftogaz is ready to discuss conditions for the use of available capacities with the companies wishing to import natural gas from Europe to Ukraine via the Slovak route. Naftogaz will offer its partners a flexible cooperation framework based on volumes and period of gas supply.

Interested companies are encouraged to send an official request letter addressed to Naftogaz Chairman of the Board signed by authorized persons, with a seal and contact information. The letter should specify the requested transmission volume and period, as well as the supplier's shipper code obtained from the Slovak gas transmission system operator eustream, a.s.

If the necessary gas transmission capacities are available during the specified period, Naftogaz will provide the contractor with the list of documents required for verification procedures and a standard confidentiality agreement. After reviewing these documents, Naftogaz will send the contractor a commercial offer.

Naftogaz reserves the right to accept or reject any request to use gas transmission capacities prior to concluding an agreement as well as to cancel acceptance of requests for gas transmission capacities at any time without assumption of any liability towards applicants
