AUSTRIA - About 60 percent of annual demand is met by
Russian gas. Gas flows stopped on Jan. 7. No rationing of
supply to Austrian firms before next Monday. 
Oil and gas group OMV was drawing on reserves,
domestic production and other imports to guarantee supply.

GERMANY - Russian gas meets about 42 percent

of annual demand. German energy groups E.ON AG and Wingas 

are relying on gas stores and a transit route via Poland.

Gas shipments to Europe via Ukraine have been massively reduced

since early on Tuesday, and no Russian gas has arrived into

Germany via the Czech Waidhaus border point for a third day.

 Energy firms warned of gas shortages if the dispute lasted

much longer and sub-zero temperatures endured.

 TURKEY -- Russia meets about 67 percent of annual gas

demand*

 Production at three Turkish power stations stopped on

Thursday. Russian gas supplies from a western pipeline passing

through Ukraine were cut on Tuesday. The country has raised

supplies of Russian gas delivered via a pipeline under the Black

Sea. Gazprom's Blue Stream pipeline to Turkey is working at full

capacity of 45 million cubic metres (mcm).

 Iran raised the amount of its daily supply volumes to Turkey

to 18 million cubic metres from 12 million, following the

partial cut off of Russian gas, an Iranian diplomatic source

said on Friday.

 GREECE -- Russia meets about 82 percent of annual gas

demand*

 All Russian gas supplies via Ukraine to Greece were halted

on Tuesday. Turkey's gas exports to Greece were below the

contract level with low pressure on the pipeline.

 Greece, a latecomer to creating infrastructure to supply gas

to households, is better placed to ride out the Russia-Ukraine

gas crisis than some of its neighbours as the country continues

to rely on oil for heating and power production.

 According to the Greek gas company Depa, natural gas

accounts for about 20 percent of Greece's energy needs, with

about 9 million cubic metres per day needed to cover domestic

demand. About 5-6 million cubic metres (mcm) come from Russia,

via Ukraine and then Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria.

 ITALY -- About 28 percent of annual demand for gas is met by

 Russia*

 Russian gas imports via the TAG pipeline were substantially

interrupted from 1.00 a.m. on Wednesday, with supplies reduced

by 90 percent. Italy has tapped its gas reserves.

 Economic Development Minister Claudio Scajola said on

Thursday Italy had enough gas stocks to last two months and see

it through the winter.

 FRANCE -- About 24 pct of annual gas demand is met by

Russia*

 Russian shipments dropped by more than 70 percent on Jan. 6.

French Energy group GDF Suez <GSZ.PA> guaranteed supplies.

 France does not rely on gas in the same way as Germany or

Italy because 80 percent of its electricity is produced by

nuclear power stations.

 HUNGARY -- About 60 percent of annual gas demand is met by

Russia*

 E.ON Ruhrgas is to supply Hungary with 2.5 mcm of natural

gas per day via a pipeline from Austria.

 Hungary eased restrictions on some large industrial gas

consumers from Thursday morning. It plans to use some of its

strategic gas reserves on Thursday to ensure supplies to

household and most industrial users.

 Hungary is to provide Serbia with 2 million cubic metres of

gas on Friday after starting to do so on Thursday because of

milder weather and lower household consumption.

 Hungary will supply Bosnia and Croatia with natural gas on

Saturday.

 CZECH REPUBLIC - About 80 percent of annual gas demand is

met by Russia*

 The main transit pipeline from Russia to the Czech Republic

and Western Europe was shut on Jan. 7.

 No customers have suffered any shortfall, said the dominant

gas firm RWE Transgas, a unit of Germany's RWE <RWEG.DE>.

 The firm said it had about 1.9 billion cubic metres of gas

in storage, enough to supply Czech firms and households for

several weeks, unless the weather was extremely cold. There were

no plans at present to reduce supply to industrial customers.

 Consumption is about 50 million cubic metres on an average

winter day. The country now imports around 17 million cubic

metres per day from Norway and Russia via Germany, more than

standard shipments coming through the link only from Norway.

 The Czech Republic will provide about 4 million cubic metres

of gas per day to Slovakia, Industry and Trade Minister Martin

Riman said on Friday. It would come from a Czech storage

facility in Slovakia and may start flowing later on Friday.

 SLOVAKIA - About 100 percent of annual demand is met by

Russia*

 Slovakia declared a state of emergency after Russian

supplies stopped on Jan. 7. It may restart a nuclear power plant

it shut down to comply with the EU accession agreement if

Russian gas supplies remain halted for a longer time.

 The Slovak gas transit and distribution company SPP said it

had reduced supplies to around 1,000 Slovak companies, forcing

major companies to reduce production. SPP is delivering gas from

its storage facilities to households, hospitals and schools. 

 The Czech Republic said on Friday it would provide Slovakia

with about 4 million cubic metres of gas per day, possibly

starting later on Friday.

 Slovakia said it wanted to secure delivery of 8-10 million

cubic metres from sources other than Russia. 

 BOSNIA - Nearly 100 percent of Bosnia's gas comes from

Russia*

 Russian deliveries stopped on Jan. 6. Bosnia uses around 350

million cubic metres of gas annually. It has no gas reserves.

 Natural gas accounts for around six to eight percent of

Bosnia's energy use, Bosnian energy officials say. Tens of

thousands have been left without heating and some factories have

closed. In Sarajevo, citizens that lived without heating during

the 1992-95 war have rushed to buy electric heaters.

 An alumina plant, two Slovak car factories, a steel mill and

a Hungarian car maker have had to shut.

 Bosnia is seeking natural gas from Germany's E.ON.

 SERBIA - About 87 percent of annual gas demand is met by

Russia**

 Supply from Russia was cut off on Jan. 6 and the country ran

out of gas. Many thousands of people were without heating and

some health clinics and hospitals have closed.

 Natural gas accounts for 15 percent of its annual fuel use

according to the Serbian energy ministry.

 But tens of thousands of Serbian homes regained gas heating

on Thursday after Germany and Hungary started supplying five

million cubic metres of natural gas a day. Officials said

170,000 Serbian households had no gas heating as of Thursday,

but many of those were expected to be back to normal on Friday.

 Hungary's HOL <MOLB.BU> said it would provide Serbia with 2

million cubic metres of natural gas on Friday.

 E.ON Ruhrgas <EONGn.DE> would provide Serbia with further

2.7 million cubic metres, Energy Minister Csaba Molnar said on

Friday.President Boris Tadic said on Friday Serbia was

negotiating a deal for an additional 2-3 million cubic metres

from Austria.

 BULGARIA - About 96 percent of annual demand for gas is met

by Russia**

 Russian supplies via Ukraine, halted on Tuesday, have forced

dozens of Bulgarian industrial companies to cut production.

 The Neftochim Burgas refinery, controlled by Russia's LUKOIL

<LKOH.MM>, halted all exports of heavy fuel after a cut in

Russian gas supplies prompted a switch to oil.

 Bulgarian gas monopoly Bulgargaz cut gas supplies completely

to 72 big industrial consumers and sharply lowered deliveries to

another 153 big companies on Thursday.

 Dozens of kindergartens and 68 schools were closed and trams

and buses in the capital Sofia switched off heat to save energy.

 By Friday, however, the domestic situation had improved

although at least 30,000 households in the northern town of

Pleven remained without central heating. At least 65,000

Bulgarian households had been without gas heating on Thursday.

 Ukraine's state energy firm Naftogaz said on Saturday it

would soon hold talks with Bulgaria to supply it with gas.

 POLAND -- About 47 percent of annual demand for gas met by

Russia**

 Russian deliveries via Ukraine halted on Jan. 7. Imports

continue via Belarus. The government has approved a motion to

cut gas supplies to industrial clients, the deputy prime

minister said.

 Its gas distributor PGNiG said on Wednesday Poland was

receiving 84 percent of contracted Russian gas in spite of the

halt in deliveries.

 SLOVENIA - About 64 percent of annual demand for gas met by

Russia**

 Russian supplies stopped from Jan. 7. Deliveries to

customers have not been disrupted.

 Main gas supplier Geoplin said the country could expect no

gas from Russia at least till 0500 GMT on Friday. It has called

upon several large Slovenian users, including energy firms and

car maker Revoz, a subsidiary of France's Renault <RENA.PA>, to

cut the use of gas and use other fuel instead.

 Geoplin said on Friday it might have to reduce or cut gas

supplies to its industrial customers as it had received no gas

from Russia since early on Wednesday. It said there would be no

reductions for non-industry consumers.

 CROATIA - About 37 percent of annual demand for gas met by

Russia**

 Russian flows halted again late on Jan. 6. Croatia declared

a crisis on Wednesday, making distributors cut gas flows to

industry and give priority to homes, schools and hospitals.

 Croatia consumes about 12 million cubic metres of gas each

day during winter. It produces 4.8 million cubic metres and

imports the remainder from Russia.

 Croatia satisfies a quarter of its annual energy needs with

gas. It has 370 million cubic metres of stored gas which should

suffice for about three weeks. The government said Croatia's oil

and gas concern INA would explore possibilities of an emergency

import of gas from Italy or North Africa.

 Croatian oil and gas concern INA <INA.ZA> <HINAq.L> has

secured three-day emergency import of gas from Germany.

 MACEDONIA - About 100 percent of Macedonia's gas comes from

Russia*. Just one percent of its overall energy supply comes

from natural gas, according to a recent study.

 Russian gas supplies to Macedonia halted on Tuesday.

 The country's main steel exporter has been forced to halt

production but alternate fuels are providing heating, including

in the capital Skopje, which partially relies on natural gas.

 ROMANIA -- About 28 percent of annual demand for gas met by

Russia*

 According to Romania's economy ministry, Romania imports 35

percent of annual gas consumption from Russia.

 Russian supplies to Romania were cut early on Jan. 7.

Underground storage and gas production by Romgaz and Petrom

<SNPP.BX><OMVV.VI> were being used to make up the shortfall.

Romania, less reliant on Russian gas than other ex-communist

counterparts, produces 65 percent of domestic consumption.

 Data from 2007 shows that electricity produced from gas

represented around 17 percent of Romania's annual consumption.

 According to the Economy Ministry, Romania has around 2.2

billion cubic metres of natural gas stored in underground

deposits, which officials have said can supply households and

industry for around 60 to 80 days at maximum capacity.

 MOLDOVA

 Moldova is no longer receiving Russian gas via Ukraine, the

country's government said in a statement on Wednesday.

 Northern regions of Moldova had adequate gas reserves only

for 48 hours, while southern regions could last for seven days

on existing reserves. 

 Ukraine's Naftogaz said on Saturday it had started

deliveries to Moldova.
