Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the Hague Court, because it is not a party to the European Energy Charter, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is reported by «Interfax» .
«As to this trial, our position is well known: it consists in the fact that on the issues and for this kind of Hague Arbitration Court has jurisdiction only in respect of those countries which have signed and ratified the European Energy Charter, “- Putin said.
«Russia has not ratified the charter, so we do not recognize the jurisdiction of this court”, – said Russian President.
According to Putin, “that Yukos shareholders are trying to get away from Russia additional funds, there is no novelty, no, we have faced with similar symptoms before, and by the company and by other partners, including from the European partners, international companies ».
