Speech in Parliament Belarusian vice-premier, in which he spoke of the damage from the Russian oil contaminated, hardly a diplomatic
Belarus threatens court
The story of the contaminated Russian oil pipeline "Druzhba", it would seem, just about I had to come to naught. The media reported on the first compensation information, that Russia will pay one of the countries affected - Kazakhstan. This is about 76 millions of dollars. In the "Transneft" announced, that all states have suffered losses will be reimbursed under the same conditions. However, most of all for more than two months indignant Belarus. Another portion of the claims from Minsk became known today, 28 June.
Deputy Prime Minister Igor Lyashenko, speaking in Parliament, He stated, that spoiled oil was the cause of a failure at the Mozyr refinery equipment cost 20 millions of dollars. According to him, or Moscow compensates for the loss of Belarus voluntarily, any conflict situation will be resolved in court. Lyashenko also noted, that the country received less about 630 thousands of tons of raw materials, of which 430 underdeliver thousand tons of refinery "Naftan", the rest - just to the Mozyr Oil Refinery.
have to compensate, the question in the way
Looks like, to wind indicators on the counter Minsk will try to the maximum. Due to the forced outage of the pipeline Republic failed benefit from the transit of Russian oil. The head of the pipeline operating company in Belarus Oleg Borisenko called the amount of 23 million dollars. These data relate to the period from April to June of this year,. In this case of "Gomeltransneft Friendship" offers two possible ways to compensate for the damage caused to: to raise the tariff for transit of raw materials to 21,7% or on or before the end 2019 year pumping the previously announced "Transneft" oil volumes in the amount of 59,75 million tons. But there is still lost profits from the export of light oil products, which is a significant source of income in Belarus.
Borisenko also accused the Russian company in the, that it obstructs access to arbitration samples of oil in spite of the instructions and arrangements. According to him, had previously place a trusting relationship led to, that the entire line turned out to be dirty. It is for this reason that now the Minsk intends to engage in the installation of systems for measuring the quantity and quality of the incoming oil to its borders with Russia and Poland. Such actions of the Belarusian head of the company-operator motivated concern about the economic interests of the republic and its industrial safety. However, it soon became known, that "Transneft" has refused to Minsk in this procedure.
Whipping through the media
Generally, everything goes to the fact, that Belarus will be customized, what is called, response under the task. In mid-May, President Alexander Lukashenko has promised to collect from the Russian "hundreds of millions of dollars", what, According to him, It will pay for "laxity and looseness" in its territory. At the same time, he expressed confidence, that Moscow will dispute voiced damage. That perceived in the country nine-digit sums of the order as a guide to action. AND, of course, you need to attract more media attention, to be known in the world, about any money in question.
of course, Russia guilty in pollution "Friendship" does not deny, another thing, that's not the slackness, and deliberate action. Human factor, Alas, such a fine thing, which can not be kept under control in the 100%. However, the position, Belarus occupied with his aggressive rhetoric, bordering on blackmail, simply unconstructive. neither Poland, nor Ukraine, nor even Kazakhstan, become unwitting participants in this story with chlorides contaminated with oil, do not allow yourself to act in this way. Yes, recently by the Polish concern Orlen came the words of the claims for compensation for losses incurred, but these actions will be performed "after all evaluations».
Belarus digs himself a hole
And what makes Minsk? As if to test the waters. 20 millions of dollars - what will be the reaction? Yet 23 million - now say? The problem is not solved by direct negotiations (anyway, not only their), and the pressure in the media. Because the concrete support of its damage still need convincing to present. There is no certainty, that Belarus will succeed. Constantinople wrote that, that spoiled oil is not completely useless, in some cases, chlorine compounds contained therein will not cause such damage, as the equipment at oil refineries. The simplest example - use it as heating fuel.
Trying to stand out among the rest of the affected countries, Byelorussia, rather, It acts against itself. Commentators on the web write, that Minsk should rejoice, that transit through them all until there is a, because there will be other options in the future Russia. maybe, that's why our neighbors want to cash in on this error, getting the maximum benefit out of the situation. What business Minsk, six, ten or thirteen persons found guilty. However, so long deprived of Russian discount. Not known yet, whether it would entail even greater damage.
by the way, it is up to 13 increased the number of defendants in the case of deliberate contamination of the oil pipeline "Druzhba", "Interfax" reports with reference to Dmitry Natarius, lawyer Director of "oil transshipment" Svetlana Balabai. According to him, ten under arrest or house arrest suspect added three more - to take them on bail. Two out of ten, by the way, arrested in absentia and are in the international wanted list. Recall, that according to the investigation was deliberately contaminated with oil in order to conceal the theft of large-scale.
