The Commission has considered the information on the current status and strategy of the gas company. Members asked the head of PGNiG, among others, a dispute with Gazprom.

As pointed Zawisza, the company that manages “every now and then informs” public opinion on the stage reached in the said dispute. “The dispute is under arbitration, but parallel conduct bilateral talks. These talks are very advanced,” – he stressed.

PGNiG in May directed to Gazprom’s demand before the Court of Arbitration in Stockholm. The dispute is to change the long-term contract pricing terms for the purchase of natural gas from September 1996. For half a year the Polish company tried to convince the Russian supplier to change these unfavorable terms of the contract. It was mainly on price; Poland pays more for Russian gas than other European destination.

The MPs also asked the head of the gas company’s gas prices for retail customers and why they do not fall.

“It is true that oil prices are falling, and is a rapidly (within one and a half year Plisko up to 50 per cent.), While it should be noted that during this period of very strong zloty also weakened, particularly in relation to the dollar. The import contracts are settled in this currency, “- replied the head of PGNiG.

It also pointed out that when it comes to PGNiG retail trade, which supports klintów retail, “the company is currently in dialogue with the regulator”. “There are ongoing discussions on the revision of the tariff, which was approved by the President of ERO on January 1 this year. For the full year 2015″, – he said. Journalists reported that in his opinion these talks should be completed soon.

Ponnadto Zawisza told reporters that the talks PGNiG and Qatargas, concerning the implementation of the agreement for the purchase of liquefied natural gas for 2016, should be completed in the third quarter. Asked if he would be a chance to negotiate the possibility not to receive gas, as has been negotiated in the past year, he replied: “Always parties can agree, as agreed to last year and I assume that this formula is always valid”.

In December 2014, PGNiG signed an agreement with Qatargas on amending the terms of the contract for the supply of LNG, which provides that Qatargas in 2015 will place the volume of gas stipulated in the contract with PGNiG in other markets, and the Polish company will pay the difference between the contracted price and the price paid by consumers.

On the basis of an agreement with Qatargas, PGNiG would receive from Qatar supplier of liquefied gas through the terminal in Swinoujscie. Construction of the terminal is not yet completed.
