The national association of Romanian carriers is also demanding a fuel stop
Bucharest – Citing the example of Hungary and Slovenia, the National Association of Romanian Carriers (FORT) is also demanding an official restriction on fuel from the Bucharest government, the Agerpres news agency reported on Monday.
“Politicians in Hungary and Slovenia are not reassuring everyone, citing insufficient oil reserves, as was the case in Romania three months ago, but have introduced a fuel price halt for domestic consumers. Three months from now, we would like to know what the Romanian official has to say oil reserves for the price of fuel, because during this time there was no one who could answer that, “Agerpres quoted FORT as saying.
According to the employers’ association, there is no other way to resolve the “situation at filling stations” than to introduce a price stop. FORT has therefore welcomed a legislative initiative that has reduced VAT on transport services from 19 per cent to 5 per cent, and then demands that the government take immediate action on the bill and send it back to parliament for legal pleasure.
Without these measures, not only transport but all other economic activities will come to a standstill, in circumstances where it is “rumored” that the price of fuel will rise by an additional 3 lei by July.
warns the association of carriers. FORT therefore encourages all haulage companies to join those protest movements, and therefore to organize at the entrance to filling stations nationwide.
In Romania, the price of diesel fuel exceeded the level of 9 lei (720 forints) per liter at the market leader Petrom last week. This was the sixth increase in June, the Economica.net economic portal said. Gasoline is sold at Petrom wells at a price of around 8.5 lei per liter.
According to the financial paper Ziarul Financiar, diesel prices have risen in price in Romania about one and a half times since the beginning of the year and there is no sign that the price increase will stop in the near future.
