OMSK, Russia May 30 (Reuters) – The euro-zone crisis is
hurting demand for gas, the head of Gazprom GAZP.MM said on
Wednesday, though he said Russia’s gas export monopoly would not
change its target for sales to its core export market this year.
“The biggest volumes are in the first and fourth quarter.
But I think you can all see the economic crisis in the euro zone
is having a significant impact on energy demand because energy
is a litmus test, an indicator of economic health,” CEO Alexei
Miller told reporters in the Siberian city of Omsk.
“Demand for energy in the euro zone has declined in 2012
from 2011 and this means gas too. The economic situation in the
Eurozone leaves much to be desired.”
