European Union for Ukraine, the allocation of credit may require the government to increase to market levels the price of gas for Ukrainian consumers.
The opinion was expressed by the analyst Polish Center of Oriental Studies (OSW) Anna Gurskaya.

According to her, she does not own the data on the specific proposals of the EU Ukraine. A. Gurskaya noticed that, most likely, it is primarily the introduction of market rules in the gas sector in Ukraine.

We can not exclude that there is a transfer pricing to market principles, - she said, commenting on yesterday's meeting between representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the European Commission and international financial institutions in Brussels, during which discussed the request by Ukraine to allocate about $ 4 billion to ensure stable gas supplies in the autumn-winter 2009-2010.

Funding from the budget of the gas monopoly is not a form that would have endorsed the European Commission - added Polish expert.
A. Gurskaya identified key reform of the gas sector according to European standards, which Ukraine has committed itself to implement, by signing in March of this year, a gas joint declaration with the European Union.

She recalled that, among other things, the declaration provides for the reorganization of NAK Naftogaz of Ukraine, which is necessary to separate companies engaged in transportation of gas, a trading company and one that will deal with the extraction of gas. In addition, Ukraine should make it possible to access the third company to a national gas market.

expert commented that such conditions makes the Ukrainian Government of the International Monetary Fund, which last fall opened a credit line for Ukraine by 16 billion dollars, 7.3 billion of which are already listed.

A. Gurskaya recognized that the Ukrainian government, led by Yulia Tymoshenko, will try to postpone the price increases so as not to spoil the electoral rating, but in reality it will not be another way out, and it will be forced sooner or later to do it.

The government still would not be able to maneuver, - he said, adding that the Ukrainians themselves in a crisis with a large understand the rise of gas.

In her view, Ukraine will provide the European Commission mentioned in the media about 2 billion USD. in exchange for the approval of the program of reforming the gas sector.

According to A. Gurskaya, the European Commission as a lever of pressure on Ukraine can use the gas and the declaration of a new cooperation agreement, which is prepared for signing.

As reported June 29 in Brussels the European Commission with technical advice from representatives of international financial organizations, the European gas companies, as well as Ukraine and Russia regarding the solution to the issue of gas supplies in winter. Ukraine to solve the problem with the injection of gas into underground storage of gas would get from European financial institutions of $ 4.2 billion loan.
