Kiev Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky signed a decree on tariff reductions on utilities from November 1, 2009

He said this during a press conference, the Ashgabat correspondent of RBC-Ukraine.

I signed a decree on tariff reductions in Kiev on heating and hot water to the level of tariffs that were in effect prior to 1 June 2009, - said Chernovetskiy.

He added that the elevated prices gave the city authorities to pay for gas. He stressed that the tariff reduction was made possible thanks to the fact that Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has ordered Naftogaz to Kiev gas in debt and restructure its debt for gas. In clarifying the question of journalists about what services at reduced rates, Chernovetsky replied: All rates, except for payment for the area near the house are subject to change.

If, for example, from Kiev for the past few months, paid for a three-room flat somewhere 601 UAH, now will pay 497 UAH, and for heating from Kiev will pay the same as paid to tariff increases, ie, 1 6 UAH per 1 sq. km. m of living space , - said Chernovetsky.

Kiev Mayor stressed that lower tariffs will be valid until May 2010 According to him, during this period, while lower tariffs will apply, the debt for gas could reach 1.3 billion UAH - UAH 1.5 billion. The reduction of tariffs will be effective from 1 November 2009 pursuant to a contract, memorandum of understanding between Naftogaz, Kyivenergo and KSCA until May 2010, - noted the Mayor
