Treasury Ministry considers annulling gas supply tender

The Treasury Ministry is considering the annulment of the tender for the supply of 2 billion cubic meters of gas for Polish oil monopoly Polish Oil and Gas (PGNiG). Rumors are circulating that Sinclair, a Ukrainian company, which was selected as the supplying party, does not have an agreement with Ukrainian gas operator NAK. According to a highly placed official from the Treasury Ministry, the appropriate documents on this issue have already been submitted to the Internal Security Agency; however, the latter has denied investigating the matter. According to unofficial information, PGNiG has attempted to purchase the required amount of gas from Gazprom, but at a much higher price. (Puls Biznesu, p. 4) A.Z.
