Russian gas export to China, expect for price, coordinated - Shmatko.

BEIJING, September 27 (Itar-Tass) - All main issues pertaining to
Russian gas supplies to China, except for the price, have been
coordinated, Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko, who is accompanying Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev on his visit to Beijing, said on Monday.
Shmatko noted that "a considerable step forward in coordinating the
export terms has been taken."
"LUKOIL's agreements are preliminary," the minister said. "At present,
(the talks of LUKOIL) are not used as an argument in the negotiations that
Gazprom is conducting," Shmatko said in reply to the question whether
agreements of LUKOIL and Gazprom do not get in each other's road.
