South Stream confirmed its timetable for the first offshore line of the pipeline, expecting the commissioning by the end of 2015.

According to a note released on Wednesday, the Gazprom Management Committee Chairman Alexey Miller participated to a meeting of the South Stream Transport BV Board of Directors.

On the occasion of the meeting, Gazprom Export and South Stream Transport BV signed a Gas Transmission Agreement. The note does not specify the content of the agreement.
