In two weeks of the entry into force of the methodology for calculating and applying the prices of oil products, the National Agency for Energy Regulation (NAER) wants to modify it. For July 16, it set public consolations on a draft to amend the decision approved on June 14, IPN reports.

“The necessity of drafting such a decision as a matter of urgency appeared after the disruption of the imports of oil products on the regional market and the continuous rise in international quotations and is aimed at not allowing possible shortages on the oil market of the Republic of Moldova,” stated the Agency.

Five days ago, following reports about the supply of Moldova with oil products, the Agency said the oil market operators work as usual and adjust their commercial policies to the new provisions of the law on the oil products market and to the methodology for calculating and applying the prices of oil products.

It noted the imported quantities of fuels are within the usual limits and do not show signs of risk, while the total quantities of oil products in stock are insufficient for fully satisfying the needs of all the categories of consumers.

The online public consultations on the new draft decision will start at 9am on July 16.
