Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have urged the US to establish deliveries of the US liquefied gas.
Four European countries have urged the United States to create conditions to simplify import of the US liquefied gas, which will allow reducing dependence on the Russian energy carriers.
In their letter to John Bayner, speaker of the US Congress House of Representatives, Ambassadors of Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia mentioned that natural gas will be in great demand in Central and Eastern Europe and its will be in the interests of the US.
The disputes between Russia and Ukraine on the gas payments have repeatedly caused interruption of the gas deliveries. Russian gas is delivered to Ukraine via the pipeline, through which gas is delivered to Central and Eastern Europe, and the transit failures have led to shortage of gas at the ultimate consumer.
On Friday Russia warned the interim government of Ukraine about possible suspension of gas deliveries, if Ukraine fails to make payment.
In response to the European diplomats’ message John Bayner said on March 8 that President Barack Obama will instruct the US Defense Secretary to immediately satisfy the needs of the US friends in Europe and other countries of the worlds so that they can reduce their dependence on Russia.
The US administration said earlier that mild winter in Europe has increased gas resources in the gas storages and a new export of liquefied gas to Europe could be no earlier than end of 2015.
