Irina Paliashvili, Dmytro Syrota   During 2003-2004, we contributed materials and comments to the draft Report of the Energy Charter Secretariat on Regulation of International Natural Gas Transportation (Country Report Ukraine), which is an integral part of the "Regulation of International Natural Gas Transportation" project of the Energy Charter Secretariat. The draft Report presented an analysis of the legal regime for natural gas transportation in Ukraine and identified legal barriers to natural gas transit across Ukrainian territory. The analysis of the legal regime was based on a comparative study, in which relevant domestic law was compared to international rights and obligations in the field of natural gas transportation.   The Report was published on the Energy Charter Secretariat's Web site in 2004 at: http://www.encharter.org
