Medvedev demands strict meeting of deadlines in laying ESPO

Deadlines and quality standards must be strictly  met  in  the  current  construction of the Eastern Siberia-Pacific  Ocean  (ESPO)  oil  pipeline and contractors who failed to meet their commitments be taken to task on the full scale, President Dmitry Medvedev demanded on Monday according to Interfax.

There  must  be  no  failures  either  as  regards deadlines or as regards quality, Medvedev said at a meeting in the Kremlin with Nikolai Tokarev, president of Russian state pipeline operator Transneft.

Contractors who have failed to carry out their assignments must be taken to  task  on  the  full  scale  by  filing  lawsuits and demanding necessary money if it has been paid in advance, Medvedev said.
