Once published the resolution of the Defense Court, it«s time to try to find sollutions for a cleaner hydrocarbure Market.
- For sure, it«s very important the the PETROL OPERATORS ( like the sanctioned Cepsa ) cannot own FUEL-STATIONS by they own. Nearly the 50 % of the CEPSA dealer Fuel-station are fuel-stations owned by the CEPSA itself. This is not a good thing for new fuels, like biodiesels. If CEPSA deciedes not to sell biodiesel, you cannot sell it to the CEPSA fuel-stations. The best it that CEPSA must sell all they fuel-stations to another persons, using the franchise system or similarly, but that CEPSA Petrol Operator ( and none petrol operator ) cannot own ( or rent ) any fuel-stations So, there must be a SPLIT in the owning between Petrol Companies and Fuel-Stations. - It«s an error stablish the free prices. It«s more interesting for the user CEPSA Petrol Operator only can determinate the MAXIMUM price of the fuel, but not the minumum ( so, the fuel-station owner can rise the prices ). .- It«s interesting register the General Conditions of the contracts between the Petrol Operators and the Fuel-Stations, so the Defense Court can more easily determinate and persecute illegal anticompetition contracts ( now, there are similar requeriments for telecoms, gas and so on ). - We need more Hydrocarbure Operators ( like the biodieseler ones ). For this, it«s necessary that Little Companies can be Petrol ( more accurately Hydrocarbure ) Operators without the need of own 500 million ptas ( 3 million euros !!!!!!!!!!!). The law-maker forgets the littles companies ( to help the big petrol operator and ban the entry to this market of the little biodiesel companies ). - For Little Hydrocarbure Companies ( like the biodieselers ), one have to pay a lot of taxes ( duties, and so on ). There is a minimum tax that you have to pay, independently the production of hydrocarbure you produce ( this is another - oligopoly - guarantee for the big petrol companies ). - It«s very important promote the INDEPENDENT FUEL-STATIONS, to which the biodiesel hydrocarbure operators can sell their biodiesel fuel. If you sell your biodiesel to a nowadays Petrol Operator ( CEPSA, REPSOL and so on ) Fuel-station, they won«t buy it, because they are ordened by this dominant petrol operator. Your only hope are the independent fuel-stations. In the near future, I supose the exclusivity contracts between Hydrocarbure Operators and Fuel-Stations are going to be BANNED, for a free Market. For sure, these problem are similar for the rest of the European Union ( and in the U.S.A. I suposse :? All the best.
