SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to update Russia diesel, gasoline specs

Effective January 2, 2015, Platts proposes to reflect Euro 4 product specifications with a maximum sulfur content of 0.005% (50 parts per million) in its Russian domestic gasoline FCA Moscow and FCA Ufa assessments and its Russian domestic diesel FCA Moscow and FCA Ufa assessments. Platts currently reflects Euro 3 standards for both products. This update to the specifications in Platts assessments reflects government legislation which will lower sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel in the domestic market from January 2015. Please send feedback and comments to europe_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com by October 16. Please provide a clear indication if comments are intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make these comments available on request.
