A regular meeting of the Regional Policy Commission led by Valery Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee has been held.

The Commission heard a report on the results of the campaign conducted by Gazprom to sign contracts for gas supplies to Russian consumers.

Gazprom’s core business units were tasked with further endeavoring to boost payments by Russian Federation consumers for gas deliveries; taking measures to cancel existing gas debt, preparing relevant documents subject to approval by the RF Industry & Energy Ministry and Regional Development Ministry as well as the RF regional executive power heads; promoting amendments in the Federal legislation for the purpose of improving the gas supply regulations during peak demand.

The meeting pointed to the insufficient preparation by industrial consumers of required standby fuel reserves in the autumn/winter period.
