GAZPROM FOR GERMANY: +13%

ГАЗПРОМ ДЛЯ ГЕРМАНИИ: +13%

GAZPROM - A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Ruediger von Fritsch, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Russian Federation, took place in Moscow.

The parties discussed the state and prospects of cooperation in the gas sector. Emphasis was placed on the strategic aspects of the collaborative Russian-German efforts along the entire value chain, including field development and gas transmission system expansion with the purpose of supplying gas to European consumers.

The meeting highlighted that Germany continued to ramp up its imports of Russian gas. According to preliminary data, from January 1 through June 19, 2018, Gazprom supplied Germany with 28.2 billion cubic meters of gas, an increase of 13.1 per cent from the same period of 2017.

The parties paid special attention to the Nord Stream 2 project aimed at bolstering Europe's energy security. Alexey Miller informed Ruediger von Fritsch that a full set of permits for the gas pipeline's construction and operation had been received from Germany, Finland and Sweden and that preparatory works were already underway in Germany and Finland.
