prior To this, the tariffs for transportation of Russian oil through Belarus were increased on 1 February 2016.

Belarus has unilaterally decided to increase tariffs on the transit of oil by 1.5 times in October of 2016. The solution was to enter into force on 11 October 2016. However, the day before that the Vice-Premier of Belarus Vladimir Semashko said that the Belarusian side cancelled the decision on increase of tariffs in exchange for the restoration of oil supplies from Russia to Belarus.

In late December of last year “Transneft” declared that the Russian company believes that economically justified the increase of tariffs for oil transportation through the territory of Belarus from February 1, 2017. As reported the adviser of the President of “Transneft” Igor Dyomin, on 23 December the company sent to Minsk their proposals on the size of the tariff for pumping oil in 2017.

According to the Chairman of Belneftekhim concern Igor Lyashenko, the question of the tariff for transit of oil was seen on 27 December during a meeting of the Belarusian delegation with representatives of the Federal Antimonopoly service (FAS) of Russia. “We put their studies and want to increase the rate of 20.5%,” — said Lyashenko on December 28, noting that the Russian side insists on raising the rate to around 5.5%.
