Clarification for the owners of the lands through which the gas pipes pass
Dear owners of the lands through which the gas pipelines pass,
The expropriation procedure is carried out as follows:
- Based on the final project approved in 2016, JSC NER prepares the expropriation reports in accordance with the Law on Expropriation,
- According to the expropriation reports, the Bureau for expertise makes estimates of the value of the plots subject to expropriation.
- According to the estimates, the Office for property and legal affairs schedules hearings with the owners and conducts the expropriation procedure
-All owners who agree with the estimated value, sign an expropriation agreement.
- After signing the agreement, JSC NER makes the payment to the owners.
- In cases when the owners do not agree with the expropriation value, the procedure is continued in the competent basic courts.
-The courts are the only body that can change the value of expropriation.
-NEVERTHELESS, ACCORDING TO THE LAW ON EXPROPRIATION, THE COURT PROCEDURE DOES NOT DELAY THE EXPROPRIATION (THE PROCEDURE IS CONDUCTED ONLY FOR THE VALUE OF THE OWNERSHIP)
-If the court decides on a larger amount, JSC NER makes the payment on the basis of the court decision.
-PAYMENT IS MADE ONLY TO THE LEGAL OWNERS (REGISTERED IN THE PROPERTY LIST)
-IF THE OWNERS (DE FACTO), DID NOT RESOLVE THE SUCCESSION PROCEDURE, THE PAYMENT CANNOT BE CARRIED OUT AND IN THAT CASE A TEMPORARY AGENT WILL BE APPOINTED.
-There are two types of expropriations for each plot:
-Complete expropriation, with a width of 7 meters
-Partial expropriation with a width of 18 meters.
-In all plots the gas pipes are installed in depth and after the completion of the project, the owners can use the plots for planting annual crops (without deep roots),
- The entire line along which the route passes is marked with visible signs,
- All plots are returned to their original condition,
- At a distance of 5 m to the left and right of the axis of the gas pipe, planting of trees with deep roots is not allowed,
- At a distance of 30 m to the left and right of the axis of the gas pipeline, a construction of a facility is not allowed, due to security reasons.
