German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier and European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič made the corresponding statement after the talks in Berlin on Monday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“I have to say that Ukraine, despite the difficult conditions, has managed to pump 97 billion cubic meters of gas in a reliable way over the last years, the last winters, having set a new record. This confirms that transit works well and is of strategic importance for providing with gas not only such a large country as Ukraine, but Central and Eastern Europe as well. Our priority is to make sure that transit is kept further on,” Sefcovic said.
