GAZPROM: South Stream construction to continue as planned

Gazprom announced last night that the construction of South Stream gas pipeline would continue as planned and in full compliance with local regulations and international standards.

As Gazprom told Tanjug news agency, the contents of bilateral South Stream agreements have been available to the public for years, which makes people at that company "surprised and disappointed" at the concern expressed by the European Commission now, after the work has already commenced.
