Russia, Belarus fail to agree 2010 oil deal-agencies

MOSCOW, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Russia and Belarus have failed to reach agreement on 2010 oil supplies after talks in Moscow on Thursday, Russian news agencies reported, citing an unnamed source in the Russian delegation.

Interfax quoted the source as saying the Belarussian delegation had insisted that Russia supply duty-free oil not only for those volumes consumed domestically in Belarus, but for all Russian crude supplied to the country.

It was not immediately clear what action Russia would take or whether supplies, including transit volumes to Europe, would be affected. (Reporting by Robin Paxton, editing by Conor Humphries)
