Rama warns: Drastic measures for those who will violate the set oil price

Prime Minister Edi Rama warned today that all those who violate the price set for oil by the Transparency Board will face drastic measures.

As Rama said in the "Flasim" podcast, decisions on the price of oil will make it possible for citizens, drivers, to not be abused by oil distributors.

"This week we have also approved the promised normative act for the reduction of the excise tax on oil, at the moment when oil, as a result of the impact of the war on international markets, exceeds the limit of 220 lek. So, the reduction of the excise tax by 20% is a measure that comes into force immediately when the price of oil exceeds 220 lek per liter and that of gasoline exceeds 200 lek per liter. These thresholds are predetermined to guarantee a fair and balanced intervention in relation to market developments, which are developments that we do not have in our hands, we are not the cause of them and we do not even have the power to stop them, except that we have the obligation to treat them in order to cushion the immediate blow to consumers, without, on the other hand, undermining the stability of public finances at a time when uncertainty in international markets remains high and equally dynamic. The measure will remain in force until the international situation is fully stabilized, while the Board of "The transparency that has been put into motion will remain the guarantor of any development in global markets to reflect in a fair and verifiable manner what should happen in the domestic market. This is an appropriate, timely reaction that guarantees quick decision-making, that embodies full responsibility and that will make it possible for citizens, drivers, not to be abused by oil distributors. The measures for all those who will violate the price determined by the Transparency Board, based on the markets, will be drastic," said Rama./CNA
