BERLIN, 01 April 2022, (TON): Contracts for the purchase of Russian gas provide for payment in euros or dollars, and should remain so. This was announced in Berlin by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The chancellor said “we looked at the contracts for gas supplies, it says that payments are made mostly in euros, sometimes in dollars.”
“During a conversation with the Russian president, I made it clear that it would remain so.”
Scholz said “it is important for enterprises that they want, can and will pay in euros.”
Finance Minister Christian Lindner said for his part “we will check in detail what was proposed and what was required.”
“But it is clear that we cannot talk about a form of political blackmail. Contacts will be made in the form in which they were concluded.”
