Russian refineries (refinery) again late with the modernization which is necessary for the transition to a high-quality fuel. At the end of 2012-2013,. Seven of the necessary installations at six refineries were not in time to put into operation their input shifted to 2014, said yesterday the head of Rostekhnadzor Alexey Aleshin.

At the time of installation at the refinery "Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat" and the two companies "Bashneft» Enterus into service, from the data the Ministry of Energy. The representative of "Bashneft" is confirmed. "Gazprom Salavat neftekhim" on request "Vedomosti" did not respond.
