Reuters: Hungary to sign deal to allow gas imports from Romania -PM Orban

Hungary will soon sign a deal which will allow the imports of 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Romania annually over the next 15 years, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday quoted by Reuters.

Orban told a news conference that three Hungarian companies had won a tender in Romania for the gas. He did not name the companies.

"Within moments we will sign an agreement, which will allow for the next 15 years the imports of over 4 billion cubic meters of gas from Romania," Orban said.

"The era of Russian gas monopoly will come to an end in Hungary ...as we will be able to cover more than half of our imports from other, in this case Romanian sources."
