Gazprom PJSC (GAZP.RS) said on Thursday that it will pay $2.56
billion to Ukrainian oil company Naftogaz (NGAZ.YY) after a Swedish
arbitration tribunal ruled against the Russian company.
The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce
awarded compensation of $4.67 billion to Naftogaz after finding
that Gazprom had failed to pump the full amount of gas as stated in
a supply contract.
The Russian oil company said that after the tribunal previously
ruled in Gazprom's favor, the court had offset the counterclaims of
both companies, leaving Gazprom to pay $2.56 billion to
Naftogaz.
The arbitration tribunal also rejected an appeal by Naftogaz to
increase the gas transit tariff and amend the contract so as to
comply with Ukrainian law, Gazprom said.
Gazprom said it disagrees with the ruling, saying that the
outcomes of the two legal proceedings resulted in a significant
imbalance between the two companies, in terms of gas supplies and
transit.
Gazprom will defend its rights through all means available under
applicable legislation, the Russian company said.
