Minister of Environment not want to lose “one minute” with litigation of oil

The Minister of Environment and Energy said today that it will not “lose one minute “with the litigation of oil compared to fuels ‘low cost’ and said that the arguments used in the protective order” are in the field of irony. “

” I will not lose even a minute with litigation issues. The injunction will be answered by the TNGC (National Organization for the Fuel Market), but I have no doubt that this reform will continue to benefit consumers and that control is a precondition for that reform can be achieved, “said Jorge Moreira da Silva on the sidelines of the 7th Congress of the Confederation of Farmers Portugal.

The minister also said that one of the arguments used for the injunction (not . you want to control) “is in the domain of irony”

“In a country that has oversight over all – and well, because it is a way to improve the conditions of competition and freedom of choice and consumer rights – should we limit the supervision of fuel sales ‘low cost’ “asked Moreira da Silva, noting that the oil found” the worst of the arguments “to try to block the legislation is to give” understand that the problem of the law is to ensure it works. “

The Economic Daily reported today that Galp, BP, Repsol and the Portuguese Association of Oil Companies (APETRO) delivered an injunction to suspend the law that requires them to provide simple fuels ( without any additives), better known as ‘low cost’ in its distribution network. Another aim, the paper said, is to avoid the supervision and the imposition of fines.

The minister assured that nothing moves against oil, but stressed “the importance of promoting freedom of choice.”

“Despite differences by oil opted by consumers” he said.
