FACTBOX: Countries affected by Russia-Ukraine gas row

(Reuters) - Following are comments from customers in Europe affected on Friday by the cut in gas supplies by Russia's gas export monopoly Gazprom to its neighbor Ukraine over a pricing dispute:

HUNGARY

"Pressure started to decline at 10 a.m. EST. British time. Pressure is declining continuously. However, the drop has not yet reached a critical level," Edina Lakatos, a spokeswoman for the Hungarian energy company MOL's natural gas transmission subsidiary, said.

ROMANIA

Russian natural gas supplies suddenly fell by 30-40 percent on Friday, the head of Romania's state-controlled pipeline operator Transgaz said.

"Gas inflows from import fell by 30 to 40 percent ... This is because of Ukraine's dispute with Russia," Transgaz director Ioan Rusu told Reuters by telephone.

POLAND

Poland said deliveries from Ukraine had dropped six percent but were being made up by deliveries through Belarus.

"The change in deliveries is not being felt by Polish natural gas consumers," said gas operator Gaz System and gas monopoly PGNiG in a joint statement.

The following said they had not yet been affected by the dispute:

GERMANY

"We are currently receiving the volumes agreed upon by contract," a spokesman for BASF unit Wintershall, one of Gazprom's biggest German clients, said on Friday.

Wingas, which has a 15 percent market share in Germany, gets about 60 percent of its natural gas from Russia but says it could secure supply from other sources if there was a drop in Russian volumes.

It operates western Europe's biggest natural gas storage facility in northern Germany, with which it says it could supply 2 million households for a year if necessary.

TURKEY

"There is no problem (in supplies) and we do not expect any. We will not have the same problems we experienced in early January in previous years," an Energy Ministry official told Reuters. A senior official at state energy company Botas said Turkey was considering increasing the flow in an alternative pipeline if it faced problems with Russian supply.

"We do not expect any gas cut, but we have made necessary preparations in case we face such a problem," the official told Reuters, adding Turkey has enough gas stockpiles.

CZECH REPUBLIC

Czech pipeline operator RWE Transgas said there had been no interruptions to daily volumes and that Gazprom had told it the dispute should not cut volumes to western Europe.

BULGARIA

Dimitar Gogov, chief executive of Bulgaria's state gas monopoly Bulgargaz said deliveries from Russia to Bulgaria were unaffected by late Friday afternoon.

"The supply is in line with the contracted level. So far we haven't seen any changes," Gogov told Reuters. "The situation is very dynamic and might as well change tomorrow."

ITALY

Industry Minister Claudio Scajola said on Thursday he saw no problems for Italy from the gas row.

"There are no problems for Italy. Gas stocks are at maximum levels, above 90 percent, and we have already taken all measures to raise, if need be, gas imports from other pipelines. In any case, this new crisis confirms the need for an urgent national energy plan to diversify energy sources and suppliers," Scajola's statement said.
