The Gazprom headquarters hosted working meeting between Mr Alexey Miller Chairman of the Company's Management Committee and Mr Vladimir Artyakov Governor of the Samara Oblast.

The parties discussed the progress with the Agreement of Cooperation and, in particular, the issues concerning the Oblast gasification.

It was noted that Gazprom was building gas infrastructure for the exclusive economic zones located near the Togliatti city. In this respect, a regional gas supply scheme was adjusted and an action plan was shaped, according to which a gas distribution pipeline necessary for supplying gas to the exclusive economic zones would be commissioned in 2012.

In addition, the meeting considered measures aimed at fully clearing the arrears of the Samara Oblast consumers for the gas supplied.
