Moldovagaz Granted a Delay in Payments for Natural Gas Imports until 30 September

The National Commission for Emergency Situations allowed Moldovagaz SA, by derogation from the Customs Code provisions, to postpone the payment of the natural gas import rights until September 30. This refers to the blue fuel transported through pipelines in April-August, infotag.md reports. The decision was motivated by the need to “ensure the solvency of Moldovagaz SA to Gazprom PJSC for the gas supplied in the subsequent period”. As reported earlier, the Commission also obliged the government to allocate 64.2 million lei from the reserve fund to Moldsilva agency to prevent increase of firewood prices, and decided to suspend operation of the Chisinau airport VIP lounge “to ensure anti-terrorist protection of critical infrastructure”.
