Anarek believes that in a statement in which he expresses “surprise and surprise” at the government’s announcement that it will propose an ordinance law permitting measures to reduce fuel margins, he still expects to understand how the promised law will affect operations resellers. it is intent as a way to focus on commercial margins as the reason for the rise in prices, “distracting the consumer from the real reason the price is so high.”

ANAREC’s response came after Environment and Climate Minister João Pedro Matos Fernandez announced at a parliamentary hearing that the area he oversees would propose “even today, a decree-law that allows the government to take measures to market the fuel. margin so that the fuel market reflects its true value. “

According to a government official, the goal is that whenever there is a decline in commodity prices, “it is felt and appropriated by consumers, rather than being appropriated by market margins, also avoiding sudden increases and potentially unnecessary ones.” …

In a statement, the association emphasizes that in Portugal the fuel price is determined on the basis of factors that “reflect a tax burden of about 60%, that is, for each euro charged, 0.60 euros corresponds to taxes and duties”.

In this context, the statement added: “The state treasury has naturally benefited from the price increases as they will necessarily also increase related taxes, as is the case with the Internet service provider and VAT.

Anarek also emphasizes that the increase in fuel prices that occurred in Portugal “is mainly associated with the dynamics of international markets, which have recently shown a tendency to increase in oil prices”, therefore he does not agree with the statements of Matos Fernandez on the rise in fuel prices ”.
