KYIV, Sept 13 – The National Commission for Energy, Housing and Utilities Services Regulation (NCER) at a meeting on Friday approved a draft resolution on the three-phase increase of tariffs for moving crude oil through pipelines of Ukrtransnafta to the country's oil refineries.

The tariffs are planned to be increased due to a change in the methodology of their formation, avoiding subsidizing domestic tariffs due to transit tariffs, reducing the number of transportation routes from 18 to six, as well as the expected increase in transportation volumes to the Kremenchuk oil refinery.
