MOSCOW, October 11(RIA Novosti) - Natural gas trader Rosukrenergo denied media allegations Wednesday of a cutoff in supplies to Poland, citing a brief technical problem.
Polish media reported that the company, which handles Russian and Central Asian natural gas and is 50% owned by Russian energy giant Gazprom, interrupted gas supplies to Poland from October 2.
"Reports of an interruption in gas deliveries do not correspond to reality. It was a technical problem related to the registration of deliveries on the Ukrainian-Polish border," the company said.
A company representative said the problem has almost been resolved.
"This will not affect our compliance with commitments under contracts with the Polish [oil and gas] company PGNiG," the source said.
