据Ukrinform新闻社1月7日消息称,据乌克兰GTS运营公司的新闻服务报道,乌克兰天然气传输系统运营公司(OGTSU)与斯洛伐克GTS运营公司Eustream签署了一项技术合作协议。
声明称:“乌克兰的GTS运营公司已与所有相关运营商达成协议。在布鲁塞尔,乌克兰的GTS运营公司自2020年1月1日起根据欧洲规则与斯洛伐克的GTS运营公司EUSTREAM签署了技术互联协议。”
因此,新的乌克兰GTS运营公司与波兰、匈牙利、罗马尼亚、摩尔多瓦、斯洛伐克和俄罗斯的GTS运营公司签署了协议。所有必要的技术和法律基础已经建立,以便乌克兰独立的GTS运营公司顺利开展工作,并从2020年1月1日起继续通过乌克兰GTS公司从俄罗斯联邦向欧洲国家输送天然气。
此外,欧洲委员会副主席Maros Sefcovic对协议的签署表示欢迎。他在Twitter上写道:“我欢迎乌克兰和斯洛伐克之间达成的互联互通协议,并得到欧盟委员会的大力推动。所有通过乌克兰路线的天然气运输都已就绪。这对欧洲的能源安全来说是个好消息。”
早些时候,乌克兰国家石油天然气公司和俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司之间的长期合同将于2020年1月1日到期,这阻止了乌克兰GTS运营公司与邻近运营公司之间的合作。
乌克兰国家能源和公用事业监管委员会最终认证通过了乌克兰天然气传输系统运营公司,并从2020年1月1日起向新的GTS运营公司颁发从事天然气运输业务的许可证。

Ukraine and Slovakia agree on gas transit
The Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine LLC (OGTSU) and the Slovak GTS Operator Eustream signed a technical cooperation agreement, the press service of the GTS Operator of Ukraine has reported.
"The GTS Operator of Ukraine has agreements with all related operators. In Brussels, the GTS Operator of Ukraine signed a technical interconnection agreement with the Slovak GTS Operator EUSTREAM under the European rules since January 1, 2020," the statement reads.
Thus, the new GTS Operator of Ukraine signed agreements with the GTS operators of Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Slovakia and Russia. All the necessary technical and legal grounds have been created for the successful start of work of the independent GTS Operator of Ukraine and for the continuation of gas transit from the Russian Federation to European countries through the Ukrainian GTS from January 1, 2020.
In addition, European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic welcomed the signing of the agreement. “I welcome the interconnection agreement reached between Ukraine and Slovakia, and forcefully facilitated by the European Commission. All pieces for the transit of gas via the Ukrainian route now in place. Great news for Europe's energy security,” he wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, the long-term contract between Naftogaz of Ukraine and Gazprom, which expires on January 1, 2020, blocked cooperation between the Ukrainian GTS operator and neighboring operators.
Ukraine's National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities finally certified the Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine LLC and granted a new GTS operator a license to carry out business activities for natural gas transportation from January 1, 2020.
