Europeans cos inflate gas orders - Gazprom Export

MOSCOW. Feb 3 (Interfax) - European companies inflate their gas orders, head of the head of the Gazprom Export department for contract-structuring Sergei Komlev said at the Russia Forum 2012 organized by Sberbank of Russia and Troika Dialog .

"They are asking for more than we are obligated to deliver. There is a difference between wishes and agreed contract quantities - the maximum quantities that are determined for the month and each day," Komlev said.

Gazprom is doing all it can to ensure reliable delivery, he said.
