Putin says Russia won't oust anyone from natural gas business

BERLIN, September 8 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is not out to oust anyone from the natural gas business, but wants to ensure the stability of deliveries and reduce the final price of the supplied product, Russian President Vladimir Putin said commenting on the opinion that the construction of the North European gas pipeline had caused discontent on the part of Poland and the Baltic states.  "Gazprom signed an additional agreement on the deliveries of 60 billion cu m of [natural] gas to European countries. It is impossible to supply these volumes using the current systems. We are not ousting anyone from the business, but just want to reduce the price of our merchandise," Putin said.
