Leading Ukrainian energy experts believe that the priority of the new President of Ukraine in the energy sector should be modified gas contracts with Russia.

This opinion expressed by experts at a press conference in UNIAN.

According to an independent expert in the field of Energy Alexander Narbut, potential and possibility of such changes are. “I think this is one of the top priorities”, - he said.

“This change in market conditions, ie the change of conditions that are the basis for the review …” This restructuring, reorganization or liquidation of the Naftogaz of Ukraine “as a part of these contracts - it is also possible …” - added Narbut.

In turn, as noted by the former Minister of Fuel and Energy Minister Ivan Plachkov, “not only possible but also necessary” to review gas contracts.

According to him, in contracts for gas is to fix parity that has been provided for the rule, not only “take or pay” but “Drill-or-pay, and go to the European system for determining the price of gas.

As President of the Kyiv International Energy Club “Q-Club” Alexander Todiychuk, “reasons for the revision is very much, and they will take advantage of the power.

“I think that the more active in the revision of prices will be the Yanukovych team, because behind him are those industry groups that are most dependent on gas prices. That and metallurgy, and chemical and cement industries, and others. For current prices on gas, these companies will be unable to compete either in our country, let alone outside it. So I think that the revision (gas prices) will be, “- said Todiychuk.

As UNIAN reported earlier, on 19 January this year presidential candidate, Party of Regions leader Viktor Yanukovych said that immediately after the election, while in office, will initiate negotiations with the Russians in order to reach agreement on a fair price for Russia”s gas, because, according to policy, it is now one of the the highest in Europe.
