ST. PETERSBURG, June 4. /TASS/. Russian authorities have already signed fuel agreements with most oil companies, while terms with the remaining firms are still being finalized, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told TASS at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"Most have already been signed. Some companies remain in the process of final coordination," Novak said, adding that the agreements will remain in force until the end of the year.

Earlier, the Russian government approved a resolution under which the Energy Ministry and the Federal Antimonopoly Service will conclude agreements with oil companies on stabilizing and developing the domestic petroleum products market. The document entered into force upon publication. The agreements will regulate volumes of motor fuel supplies to the domestic market and retail prices for gasoline and diesel fuel, taking into account the expected inflation rate.
