RWE sends rep to Ukraine

Czech gas supplier RWE Transgas has sent its representative to Ukraine to take part in a European monitoring mission aimed at helping restore deliveries of natural gas from Russia to Europe. Early on Wednesday Russia completely turned off supplies to Europe in a gas pricing dispute with transit country Ukraine. The decision has affected at least a dozen EU countries, some of which have declared an energy emergency. RWE Transgas reported Friday that gas flow within the Czech Republic was currently sufficient.
