Gazprom has no plans to reduce gas exports to Europe

Russian gas giant Gazprom plans to maintain gas exports to non-CIS countries at the level of previous years, head of Gazprom Export, Elena Burmistrova said, speaking at the European Gas Conference.

She said that Gazprom’s export to non-CIS countries last year amounted to 199.3 bln cubic meters of gas, taking into account 382 mln cubic meters delivered to new destination - China.

"One thing is clear - Gazprom was and remains the largest exporter of natural gas in Europe and the world. In the mid-term, we expect export to Europe to remain at the level that has been achieved over the past years with adjustments that are related to weather conditions," TASS cited Burmistrova as saying.
