"Together with the Director General of Taxes and the Director General of Customs, we have just agreed on the operational plan for the establishment of a Task Force between these two institutions.

It aims to increase tax and customs control and efficiency with regard to the wholesale and retail hydrocarbons sector.

We were prompted to establish this operational group, starting from the most recent conflict between Iran, the US and Israel, a conflict which has affected hydrocarbon prices. Prices which will be monitored by these two institutions, so that we do not have abusive increases in these prices in the wholesale or retail hydrocarbon trading sector.

Today we have agreed on the steps that will be followed by these two institutions, starting with the risk assessment of operators operating in this sector, but also by receiving information from the market regarding potential abuses that may occur.

The control will focus not only on the control of customs or tax documentation, but also on the physical control of the quantities of hydrocarbons traded by wholesale and retail points.
