BRUSSELS, Sept. 26 – The European Commission has said it expects the EU member states will fulfill a decision agreed by the European Council to facilitate reverse gas flows to Ukraine.

"The message from the Commission is very clear: We expect all member states to facilitate reverse flows as agreed by the European Council... There is nothing preventing EU companies to dispose freely of gas they have purchased from Gazprom, and this includes selling this gas to customers both within the EU as well as to third countries such as Ukraine," European Commission spokeswoman Helen Kearns told the journalists in Brussels after Hungary suspended reverse gas supplies to Ukraine last night.
