KYIV, Jan 21 – The return to state regulation of the price on the gas market is a huge step back in the process of reforming this market, Head of the European Energy Community Secretariat Janez Kopac has said.

The gas market has become a success story in 2018, as well as in 2020 with the abolition of public special obligations (PSO) for households. Now, this has changed and means a huge step back, Kopac said at the Energy Club discussion on the topic "Will Ukraine continue the reform of the gas market?" held on Thursday.
