The Constitutional Court has not supported the opening of a case on the lawfulness of the transfer of state-owned gas pipelines of 43 gas supply companies to the balance of Naftogaz Merezhi, a subsidiary of National JSC Naftogaz Ukrainy.
The court's press service reported late on February 19 that the refusal was due to the lack of correspondence of President Viktor Yuschenko's appeal to the requirements foreseen in the Ukrainian Constitution and the law on the Constitutional Court.
