Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces an attempt to establish natural gas tariffs based on experts’ fuzzy estimations on the example of Georgia. We consider the existent situation in tariffication processes. We discuss the necessity to use new approaches for implementation of these processes. We introduce a new approach for determination of natural gas tariffs based on fuzzy logic and its algorithm. At the end we show the example of practical application of the proposed method

KEYWORDS: Natural gas tariff, Parameter, Fuzzy set, Fuzzy aggregation, Algorithm.
