KIEV, April 28 – A group of Ukrainian industrial companies plan to create the Ukrainian Association of Natural Gas Consumers to introduce new mechanisms for operating the Ukrainian gas market, said Vitaliy Demianiuk, head of an initiative group and director general of GAZEKS-Ukraine.

"We hope that the association will be a platform, which first would be able to clearly identify urgent problems in the gas market and take part in the formation of rules for the domestic market," he said.
