Dear sirs and colleagues,

The official web-site of the Association "Gazovyye Treidery Ukrainy" ("Gas Traders of Ukraine") (AGTU), which I am honored to represent, is intended to display as comprehensive as possible overview of Ukrainian gas traders' opinions on critical issues of reforming in the gas sector. I am convinced that it's really required, because information closure in this sector and lack of clear and consistent policies with main actors of the gas market suppresses the national gas sector and shrinks the domestic gas market, and affects the economic growth in the final end In the Ukrainian context, it's still hard to refer to the fair competition, effective strategies of the national fuel & energy complex or the energy security. I am convinced that the systemic, grounded and open analysis of problems and prospects of the national gas market, detailed discussion of these issues on our site by inviting all the stakeholders in the dialogue will allow to find a best option of reforming for the Ukrainian gas sector and its transformation into the viable market that will operate on the basis of open and fair competition.
