Belarus Raised Tariffs On Transporting Oil Through Druzhba

The new cost is enshrined in the Resolution of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade.

Belarus has raised the tariff for oil transportation via Druzhba. The new cost is stipulated in the decision of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade № 13.

The document was published on the National Legal Internet Portal on February 20, naviny.by reports.

Thus, the tariff for the service of transporting oil through the pipeline of Homeltransnauta Druzhba at Unecha (Vysokaye) - Polatsk - Nevel section has been raised from 191.2 Russian rubles per tonne of net to 203.8. This does not include value added tax.

We remind that from January 1, 2020, Russia has sharply reduced the supply of hydrocarbons to Belarus due to the unresolved dispute in the oil sector. Against this background, our country's GDP fell by 1.9% in the first month of the new year compared to the same period last year.
