YAKUTIA.INFO. the Antimonopoly service will check non-core activity of "Sakhatransneftegaz" . Yury Ignatyev reported Administration office federal antimonopoly service on Sakha (Yakutia) Republic at Public advisory board meeting chapter at department.

The prices of natural gas appeared one of key questions. And though since July 1 tariffs for natural gas will grow by only 2 percent, according to many consumers, all of them still remain unreasonably high. Position at Goskomtsen the simple: we have long distances and not enough population, from here and high cost.

However at meeting other version in many respects explaining the real reasons of high cost was heard.

"Today the unclear system when the monopolist defines what at him will be coefficient to a tariff is observed. Present that Ivanov and Petrov do each business. But Ivanov with "Sakhatransneftegaz" agreed, and to it made small coefficient. And Petrov did not agree, and to him made high coefficient. I consider that the size of coefficient should not be established by the company which is directly interested in its increase", - the head of service of municipal economy Okruzhnaya administration Yakutsk Popov Aleksey .

Popov Aleksey: "STNG" coefficients - the soil for corruption!

Answering it, the deputy head of REK — Goskomtsen Sakha (Yakutia) Republic Lykova Marina told that "everything depends on how agree". "Here key concept - "as agree. Same the soil for corruption! " - noticed Popov Aleksey.

Further, we initially think that "Sakhatransneftegaz" has to be engaged only in service of gas networks and gas sale. However at meeting it became clear that the company on our money is engaged in non-core business.

"The same Goskomtsen — REK, approving formally a tariff, does not see that the accountant included a salary in a tariff to employees of shop, servicing etc. And they see only that will provide to them! If before "STNG" in addition traded in spare parts for the gas equipment (that, in principle, was normal), now it is the whole large-scale activity! Shops, warehouse, transportation — everything lays down heavy burden on a tariff. But if you want to be engaged in non-core activity — please, open the separate independent enterprise", - the director of SEGH declared at meeting.

Earlier same problem was lifted by YARO "OPORA RUSSIA". Representatives "OPORA RUSSIA" sent to the address of the head Federal Antimonopoly Service to Igor Artemyev the letter in which asked to carry out an inspection of how the republican gas monopolist forms the tariffs.

According to "SUPPORT", "STNG", except other, puts in tariffs, including maintenance costs of the non-core business.

Here that businessmen wrote:

"According to representatives of the subject (we will not specify at their request that they had no problems with work), the part of expenses from non-core business activity compensates JSC Sakhatransneftegaz at the expense of tariffs. The unfair economic scheme turns out: society, conducting other non-core business activity, unlike other managing subjects, refunds the expenses through tariffs, thereby creating unfair competition for subjects of small business. But as a result the tariff for transportation of gas turns out overestimated. Thus their formation is checked upon nobody".

Thus, if earlier information moved from words of "an anonymous source", today it is declared publicly. In addition, at meeting other, not less interesting information was heard.

"It is necessary to check non-core activity of "Sakhatransneftegaz" as it influences formation of tariffs. The second — it influences and competition development in the market of realization of the gas equipment and other accompanying things. Secondly, the question on the coefficients is interesting, applied by "Sakhatransneftegaz" — as far as they are lawful. Let's check now as far as they are reasonably or unreasonably applied to different categories of consumers", - commented Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. Info the head of Administration office federal antimonopoly service on Sakha (Yakutia) Republic Youri Alekseevich Ignatyev.

Earlier our edition repeatedly lifted a problem of high cost of the Yakut gas.

So, the production price from JSC "YATEK" makes 1627 rubles for 1000 cubic meter. At such price of "YaTEK" sells gas of the governmental company "Sakhatransneftegaz". Further, taking into account various extra charges and coefficients, "Sakhatransneftegaz" sells natural gas to residents of Yakutsk at the following price: citizens pay for cooking of 8268 rubles, villagers — 6500 rubles. For heating in the cities to people expose the price tag in 4923 rubles, in villages — 3920 rubles.

Also earlier People's Front for Russia on Sakha (Yakutia) Republic provided data of Goskomstat on gas consumption with use of counters of the individual account. Figures following: Moscow region — cost is 5700 rubles, Tambov region — 5047 rubles, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra — 4050 rubles. And to Sakha (Yakutia) Republic — 8027 rubles.

"That is is more than two times more expensive, than in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra under approximately identical conditions (temperature, distances)", - Alexander Zhurakovsky emphasized the working group of People's Front for Russia "Social justice" to Sakha (Yakutia) Republic .

"Sakhatransneftegaz" is the republican company for 98 percent.
