KIEV, Dec. 7 – The Ukrainian government's plans to introduce duties on the import of fuel to Ukraine will end the equality on the market which has been achieved not long ago, Patrick Van Daele, the general manager of Shell Ukraine Exploration and Production, said at a conference dedicated to Ukraine and organized by The Economist magazine, together with the Foundation for Effective Governance in London on Tuesday.

According to him, Shell is currently fighting against the Ukrainian government's plans to introduce import duties, as it will undermine the profitability of such companies as Shell which are engaged in retail business.
