Fuel prices remain high amid elevated oil prices and the high international Platts index for refined products, State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy Cristian Bușoi said on Tuesday after a meeting of the Energy Command at Transelectrica’s headquarters.
The official said that the Ministry of Energy is monitoring the market together with the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF), the Competition Council and the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), in order to identify any unfair practices or speculative situations generated by international price fluctuations.
Bușoi explained that Romania has limited room for intervention. Domestic oil production covers only part of the needs of the OMV Petrom refinery, while Petromidia operates using imported oil. In addition, Romania imports significant quantities of diesel.
Reducing the excise duty, which was increased from 20% to the maximum level of 25%, has a limited effect on the final price but reduces budget revenues. The official did not confirm an extension of the measure to gasoline. Possible forms of support for farmers and transport operators are being discussed, but the Government cannot adopt emergency ordinances, and so far no parliamentary initiative in this regard is known to exist。
