KIEV, Oct. 17 - The publication of Naftogaz Ukrayiny's financial report for 2006 has been delayed because the company's auditors are waiting for Parliament to make amendments to the law on the state budget for 2007, Naftogaz told Interfax.

"The publication of Naftogaz Ukrayiny's IFRS financial report for 2006 is being delayed because the auditors are expecting amendments to be made to the 2007 state budget to provide the company with UAH2.4 billion in subsidies that are envisioned in the government-approved financial plan of Naftogaz Ukrayiny," a Naftogaz spokesman said.
