New contract on the transit of Russian gas through Belarus

The gas giant Gazprom has signed a new contract for the transit of Russian natural gas through the territory of Belarus with a subsidiary of the Belarusian company Gazprom transgaz Belarus. Duration of contract: 2015-2017 years. Reports about it RIA News.

Despite the lack of information on how much gas will be pumped through the Belarusian section of the pipe, it can be said that such volumes will clearly be increased in comparison with the current year. The reason for this conclusion can be considered the statements of the first deputy chairman of the government of Belarus, Vladimir Semashko.

Vladimir Semashko said earlier that gas transit through Belarus could be increased by 9 billion cubic meters per year without any problems. Now the volume of gas pumping is about 44 billion cubic meters per year. This is slightly lower than the volume of pumping of the 2013 of the year, since the transit of gas destined for certain regions of Ukraine was reduced in 2014 through the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

The Russian company Gazprom is currently the full owner of the Belarusian gas transmission system, owning an 100% stake in Gazprom Transgaz Belarus, formerly Beltransgaz. In this case, we can say that when signing a contract, special difficulties could hardly have arisen ...

[Giant thought]

If the situation allows, then why not take this opportunity.

[enot73]

If the dill were the same sane people as the Belarusians - there was no need to build different "streams" and they themselves could have a healthy profit.

Hehe! Is it a joke ...

On 27 on July 2014, US Secretary of State John Kerry handed over to the US Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov the ultimatum of the USA: In case of disagreement with American conditions in Ukraine, we are 1. Lower the oil from $ 100 to $ 60 and kill the source of income for your budget 2. We will raise the ruble / dollar exchange rate from 30 to 45 and lower the standard of living of Russians 3. Drop the RTS index from 1500 to 900 and destroy your stock market.

On 9 on August 2014, Russian Foreign Minister A. Lavrov conveyed US Secretary of State George Kerry Russia's response: In this case, we are 1. Lower the oil from $ 60 to $ 40 and kill your shale oil and alternative energy projects. 2. We will raise the ruble / dollar exchange rate from 45 to 60 and make our enterprises even more profitable and competitive in foreign markets; 3. We lower the RTS index from 900 to 600 and redeem the shares of our enterprises from Western investment funds at a low price.

No matter how the old man asked the Kuril Islands for this.

[MSL]

I apologize for "-" wanted "+". Laughed heartily.

[pg4]

And it’s good for us, and it’s beneficial for you, and Europe is calmer.

[Penelope]

We pump less gas through Ukraine, and more through Belarus, it will be more profitable for us.

[vodolaz]

Belarusians sensibly reasoned that cheap gas is much more profitable than the operation and modernization of their gas transportation system. Just a business, without politics and other heresies.

[ALABAY45]

"Russian gas through Belarus"
He is it! And, I think what are these "brothers" fussing about ?! That's it, guys, the train left and the rails were dismantled ...

[dima-fesko]

Who do you mean "brothers"?

[ALABAY45]

Bulgarians lathered themselves in Moscow. To discuss South Stream ...

[vdtomsk]

In this political situation, this is probably the only way to prevent the EU from freezing.

[ia-ai00]

And why should Russia care about THIS - "not to let the EU freeze"?
Another thing is to let Belarus "steer" the gas valve, and not only Turkey, this, I think, is GOOD!

[askort154]

ia-ai00 .... Another thing is to let Belarus "steer" the gas valve, ...

You do not seem to have mastered the whole article. It says that Gazprom is 100%
the owner of the gas transportation system in Belarus. The old man was removed from the valve, he rested for a very long time, but surrendered when the fried rooster approached his point.

[ia-ai00]

No, just 100%, somehow "slipped" by. Well, well, Belarus will get something for transit, which is better than that money would have settled in Ukraine.

[askort154]

ia-ai00 .... Well, well, Belarus will get something for the transit, and this is better than this money would settle in Ukraine.

What transit, pipe Gazprom. Here for renting land for the pipe, maybe?
It depends on how the contract is drawn up.

[tolian]

Do you represent the "pipe"? It is a complex and is served by people with good salaries.

[pg4]

When the "Nord Stream" was laying screams, too, there were enough, but then the democratic selection of gas from the higher Ukrainian authorities began and everyone immediately approved the construction of the gas pipeline.

[KiR_RF]

Because, apart from selling GAS and OIL (weapons do not count for monkeys), we can offer nothing to Europe or to anyone else

[MSL]

You are not lost, my dear?

[pg4]

It is not regrettable, but he is right

[tolian]

Yes, you forgot to say that Russia is the second grain exporter in the world. By the way, proposed by China, this is almost everything we have stolen. Even if in the USA it was rushing.

[mch1950]

Is it worth worrying about the EU? In general, it is necessary to sell gas and oil at its border, and let the buyer work with transit.
Assets must be kept, otherwise blackmail can never be avoided.

Very simple. One manufacturer, he is also the owner of the transport system - he "drank" the dough, he produces it alone, well, with hangers-on. The final recipient pays a certain amount, Gazprom provides gas cheaper than competitors who have separate gas, the main gas pipeline is separate, the distribution network is also separate. Both the consumer and Gazprom are satisfied. If you sell gas at the border, intermediaries appear and you need to "cut" the loot for at least two people (and most likely there will be even more willing). The price for the end user rises, Gazprom's profits go down, competitiveness also goes down (hence, there will be less sales). Plus, there is a dependence on any kind of husk.

[grandfather]

The Europeans themselves are building the third package, but in relation to Turkey, or do you think the Turks will build it, as Gazprom does?
Gazprom builds and has the right to own, and let Israel apply the third package to Pindo.

[bmv04636]

Here you are wrong Gazprom does not like it here that I will give an example simple for you. You bought a truck for the delivery of your goods and here the collective farmer says to you You can carry your goods on your truck, provided that you give half of the space to your competitor and not the fact that he will use this right and you will drive your truck with 50 % loading.
Yes, here's another hello from the euro collective farmers
The European Union Court has ruled to exclude the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas from the list of terrorist organizations.

I still don’t understand why with such transit volumes and such low gas prices our country's economy is in full out ?????

[Jem_Psak]

Well, there are many reasons, one of the main ones is capitalism in the Russian Federation, the second time the state is convinced for Russia the only acceptable form of government is absolute Monarchy or Authoritarianism, the third is the excessive presence of librarians + and democrats in the state bodies of the Russian Federation, and another reason is weak anti-corruption policy state.
P.S. My personal opinion =)

In Belarus, 55% of enterprises are unprofitable.
55% of enterprises in January-August 2014 were unprofitable or low efficient, according to official statistics.
It is reported by BelaPAN.
So, in January – August, 1.399 organizations received a loss. A low level of profitability (up to 5%) was recorded in 3.031 enterprises. Thus, almost 55% of enterprises accounted for by official statistics were unprofitable in January-August or were among low-efficient ones.
Compared to the same period of 2013, the share of unprofitable organizations increased significantly. So, in January – August 2014, 17,3% of organizations considered by official statistics were unprofitable. For comparison: in January – August 2013 the share of unprofitable organizations in Belarus amounted to 12,5%.
Well now guess at the expense of what the unprofitable enterprises contain.http://bdg.by/news/economics/31181.html

[pg4]

And because of the fall of the ruble, unprofitable pr-y became even more.
It cannot go on forever.

I support 100%. Caucasians are crushing us from all sides, and we are at reduced prices .. I would like to hear the opinion of knowledgeable members of the forum what is it? Grand politician - if so, with whom and against whom? If the preservation of the gas sales market, then again - who can capture it so sharply? And after an incomprehensible tail beating to Lukashenko regarding Russia and his pro-Western statements, is it worth it to conclude such contracts.

[mch1950]

I do not understand why such a volume of hydrocarbon exports in general. Sell ​​for "green" ones then buy pin_dos bonds for them or give out loans to everyone? What's the point ?

In time, the Old Man was tilted and you have no problems, but with Ukraine, the moment was profound. Fat, which lasted for years, filled the eyes of Russian bureaucrats. In Ukraine it was necessary not only to pour in, but also to pump out, not loot, so other interests.

As far as I know, the increase in transit through Belarus was artificially slowed down by the Poles. There is the bulk. More precisely, the largest volume of Belarusian transit again then falls to Ukraine in the Kobrin district on Kovel. To Lithuania - there it is, bullshit: 2 seven hundred (720 mm.), It seems ... I can, however, be mistaken ... And again: in order to significantly increase volumes it is necessary to lay new pipes. But this is for sure . Those. we must somehow agree with the Poles ...

And yet we need to look for ways for new gas pipelines .. Hope for = FATHER = in the light of his recent statements about Russia is very illusive, After all, Lukashenko is essentially Europe’s last dictator .... and the end of his reign is just around the corner ... and although = Old Man = everywhere hints that Belarusians are crazy about him = scrap off = he can, like twice two, and not our supporters can come to replace him, so that the path to Turkey is faithful, the path to Asia is faithful, that's just there is a problem with India, but nothing will have to be done with liquefied gas ...... In short, I personally have little joy in signing a new contract with Belarus: the next successful working moment of contact with a neighboring country, which is fraternal today, and may not become tomorrow her ..........

There is a feeling that a handful of Ur patriots have gathered and minus everyone who has their own opinion on this article, which does not coincide with the opinion of MOST.

Zamususuyut previous statement. But did you know that the milk that OUR government wanted to provide for our country is purchased in China, Kyrgyzstan and the most interesting in New Zealand, for which the state duty is reduced by 30%?
And all the milk is bought up by large corporations that sit in Moscow (Danon, Vimbildan, etc., the owners of which are foreign businessmen).

It is necessary to sell at its border on an advance payment and for rubles. And that’s it.

[tongilguk]

Old Man the other day said that we need to look for other markets besides the Russian one (wherever interesting he would find them, when he himself is under sanctions). Then Semashko declares that gas transit can be increased. This is not even a hint of Russia, this is a concrete statement.

During this period, buying apartments should be very cautious.
The people, I myself from Russia 8 years ago moved to Belarus. Citizenship of the Russian Federation. So with the experience of living here I explain, and this is important:
2010 seemed to have a similar financial situation - the dollar pulled up 3 (!) Times. From 3000 to 8500 - 9000 white The reasons for the massive buying up of the dollar by the population. They themselves are to blame. But I'm not talking about that. Loan rates rushed up. Apartments before this were built at 10-12%. In some cases, they began to reach 40-50% (!) Six months later (attention!). I found a loan calculator on the sites, looked at how much you have to pay per month for the hut for at least 32%. The situation turned out to be complete n ... c. We take a loan for 20 years - we repay the first 2 years, we feed the bank the remaining 18 years. Repayment of the loan per month was obtained in the 40000 area of ​​Russian rubles (I considered my hut) with a salary of 20000. Not bad? BUT: I managed to jump into the last car and cry now about 500 grew. Those. the situation with the appreciation of the dollar has played into the hands of a huge number of Belarusians. But only to those who managed to take a loan to a sharp increase and to the final, maximum increase.
I personally know 2 people, one pays for a hut 100 grew. p, he took a loan for 2-3 years before the crisis, another paid up to 5 years before (loan term was 20 years) and then he took and paid the balances for 15 years at once, paying (tratatatata !!!!!) 7000 grew. rubles!
But there are also a small number of Belarusians who, in the hope of further depreciation of the whites. the ruble took loans under 24, 32 and even 40 with more than interest. Whoever took 30 or more, I think (I don’t know for sure) in the ocher ... m flight. How they get out - I do not know. Salaries for the last 3 years not only did not increase, but fell slightly.
If everything goes as it should, like here, then Russia expects a small, not catastrophic drop in living standards, in six months or a year it will stabilize more or less, salaries will rise, the dollar will continue to grow slowly upward. Well, x ... with him. The main thing is not to freak out, do not buy any x .... yo (here the people then rushed to buy everything that is possible (they took 10 refrigerators, why ???), further exacerbating the situation.
Break through!
