Kazakhstan prepared to start crude supplies to Belarus

摘要

Moscow-Kazakhstan said January 19 it is ready to start deliveries of its crude to the two refineries in Belarus, as the deadlock over Russian supplies to Belarus for 2010 rumbles on. Supplies of Kazakh crude to Belarus were previously hindered by high transportation tariffs but the establishment of the Customs Union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, set to come into force in July, eliminates the problem.
