Ukraine's Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Volodymyr Demchyshyn considers it appropriate to introduce different approaches for the formation of gas reserves for miners and traders that have no own production.

"We understand it makes sense to divide suppliers into those who supply from bought resources and those who deliver from own resources - these are the companies that have a license for mining," the minister said.

As reported, the new law on the gas market requires suppliers to form gas reserves from January 1, 2017.
