KIEV, March 21 - Emfesz Kft. plans to build a pipeline from Ukraine to Hungary to provide natural gas for a combined cycle power plant it plans to build in northeast Hungary, Emfesz Managing Director Istvan Goczi said Wednesday.

Such a project, which is near the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, is needed because Hungary's gas transport system is overloaded, he said. "We simply cannot supply the necessary volumes from the existing gas pipeline system, that is why a pipeline must be built," he said.
