RTRS:Gazprom says eurozone weakness hitting gas demand
May 30 (Reuters) - The euro-zone crisis is hurting demand for gas, the head of Gazprom "The biggest volumes are in the first and fourth quarter. But I think you can all see the economic crisis in the euro zone is having a significant impact on energy demand because energy is a litmus test, an indicator of economic health," CEO Alexei Miller told reporters in the Siberian city of Omsk.
"Demand for energy in the euro zone has declined in 2012 from 2011 and this means gas too. The economic situation in the Eurozone leaves much to be desired." (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin; Writing by Melissa Akin; Editing by Douglas Busvine)
