(30) Med hensyn til gasleverancerne blev det på grundlag af de offentliggjorte oplysninger i det russiske gasforsyningsselskab OAO Gazproms årsberetning for 2003 konstateret, at den hjemmemarkedspris for gas, som de to russiske producenter betalte, var ca. en femtedel af eksportprisen fra Rusland. OAO’s regionale distributør leverede gassen til de berørte eksportører. Af beretningen fremgik det desuden klart, at "OAO Gazprom ikke havde nogen fortjeneste på hjemmemarkedet". Der foreligger ikke nogen officielle oplysninger om, hvor stor fortjenesten er på gas på det russiske hjemmemarked, men ifølge oplysninger fra russiske regeringskilder til pressen og data fra specialiserede erhvervsanalytikere og offentlige websites er der meget klare indikationer på, at prisen for gas leveret til hjemmemarkedskunderne lå langt under det niveau, der var nødvendigt for at dække udgifterne. Herudover var de gaspriser, som de to russiske producenter betalte, betydeligt lavere end de priser, de canadiske producenter betalte for levering af gas.

(30) As concerns gas supplies, it was established on the basis of data found in the published annual report for 2003 of the Russian gas provider OAO Gazprom (whose regional distributor was also the supplier to the exporting producers in question), that the domestic price of gas paid by the two Russian Producers was around one fifth of the export price from Russia. The same report clearly stated that "OAO Gazprom did not make any profit in the domestic market". While there is no officially available information as to the profitability of Russian domestic gas prices, quotes from Russian government sources in the press together with data obtained from specialized market intelligence sources and governmental websites all strongly suggest that the gas prices charged to domestic customers were made at prices far from cost recovery levels. Moreover, the price of gas paid by the two Russian Producers was significantly lower than the gas price paid by the Canadian producers.
