Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has signed a decree according to which a $100 discount will apply to export tariffs if the price for 1,000 cubic meters of gas supplies to Ukraine is $333.30 or more, RIA Novosti reports.
"The signed decree prescribes, on a temporary basis until 31 March 2015, a special procedure for calculating the rates of export tariffs depending on the level of the contract price for the natural gas delivered from the territory of the Russian Federation to the territory of Ukraine," the decree said.
According to the document, a discount of $100 will apply if the price for 1,000 cubic meters of gas stands at $333.30 or more. Should the price be less than $333.30, the discount will form only 30 percent of the price.
"The current decree shall apply to the legal relations arising from the 1 November 2014," the decree added.
