MINSK, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Belarus has raised transit tariffs on Russian oil flowing to Europe through its pipelines by up to 22.5 percent, Belarus's economy ministry said in a statement on Friday.
"The average increase in tariffs in euros per tonne depends on the direction of transportation and is between 21.6 percent and 22.5 percent," the ministry said in the statement.
The economy ministry said it needed to raise the transit price because it had modernised its facilities. (Writing by James Kilner in Moscow)
