BUCHAREST, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Gas deliveries from Russia's 
Gazprom  GAZP.MM  to Romania fell by 18 percent compared with 
nominated volumes from state-owned gas grid operator Transgaz 
 ROTGN.BX , the European Union state's energy ministry said on 
Wednesday. 
    Gazprom has scaled down its deliveries to several central 
and eastern European states over the past weeks, but Russian gas 
volumes to Romania are currently very low, at less than 0.2 
million cubic metres per day, the ministry said in a statement. 
    Romania is the third-most energy-independent state in the EU 
with a mix including gas, coal, hydro, nuclear and renewable 
energy, and unlike many of its emerging peers it imports only a 
fifth of its gas needs from Russia.  ID:nL6N0RX1PN
