The transfer of PJSC Odesa port-side chemical plant to the management of National Joint-Stock Company Naftogaz Ukrainy or PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia is economically inexpedient, Naftogaz Chairman Andriy Kobolev considers.

"With regard to the transfer of the plant – we see no economic sense in this. If the goal is a further free use of the group's gas resources, the answer is "no"," he said at a press conference in Kyiv.

Earlier Head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine Ihor Bilous said that Odesa port-side chemical plant after the failure of a privatization tender could be stopped or handed over to the company with gas resources.
