Paraguayan drivers and other employees of the fuel industry remain expectant before the possible approval by the Chamber of Deputies of a law to lower energy prices.
Unionists of the state-owned Petróleos Paraguayos (Petropar) and other agencies of the sector hope that this body will endorse the bill signed the day before by the Senate to make this government agency more competitive. “We are very pleased, after much struggle there is a glimmer of hope”, the representative of the Petropar Union, Gerardo Parodi, declared to ADN Digital about the initiative that frees fuel purchases.
The bill, he explained, seeks to make the company more competitive in the fuel market and to reduce its tariffs, by exempting foreign suppliers from bureaucratic procedures, among them the sworn declarations.
The Chamber of Senators approved this Monday the legal text, which exempts from these provisions “any legal person dedicated to the commercialization of hydrocarbons”.
