Relationship between distributor Brega and petrol station companies to be reviewed

The Economy Minister stressed the need to establish a clear mechanism between the Brega Company and the distribution companies that regulates the process of supplying fuel to the petrol stations and providing it to the citizen easily and smoothly. He indicated that the Ministry will consider the regulations and legislation governing the relationship of the Brega Company with the distribution companies and will proceed to study the required quantities of fuel and the actual needs of the stations and their capacity.

A technical team that includes all the competent authorities would study the possibility of using the GPS tracking system to monitor fuel tankers in coordination with the distribution companies in the context of combating smuggling and corruption. The team will also undertake the process of organizing the granting of licenses in municipalities with regard to oil and gas activities and reviewing the profits of the Brega Oil Marketing Company and fuel distribution companies.
