Government to discuss regulation of fuel margins, inspection found no high markups
Videos
Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) continues his fight against high fuel prices and comes up with a concrete proposal. At Friday's meeting, he agreed with Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) that the government will address the issue of margin regulation or further steps toward gas stations on Monday. Babiš proposes capping margins at three crowns per liter, which he describes as a normal level of markup. ihned.cz - byznys ↗
Interesting findings come from the state price inspection. Although Babiš talks about margins amounting to ten crowns, the officials' inspection did not prove that gas station operators were charging significantly high markups. Nevertheless, the price of diesel continues to rise toward the fifty-crown-per-liter mark, which according to the prime minister represents an outrageous state of affairs. denik.cz ↗
Babiš also called on the Office for the Protection of Competition to investigate a possible cartel among gas stations. He criticized the distributors Orlen, MOL, and OMV, demanding that the exploitation of the conflict in the Middle East end and that prices be reduced immediately. novinky.cz ↗
Monday's government session will thus focus on what concrete measures can be taken against high fuel prices, with the proposal to cap margins representing one of the options the prime minister is preparing. denikn.cz ↗
