Barcelona fuel stations seeking to increase profits by taking advantage of state aid and tax breaks approved by the Spanish government will be publicly exposed and identified on a public list so that consumers can make claims.
In statements to the media this Wednesday, the Minister of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda, Pablo Bustinduy, highlighted that this advances consumer rights protection. "May the effort we all make go into people's pockets and not into the pockets of large energy companies, as has happened in so many crises in the past," he remarked to the press at the ministry's headquarters.
Promoted by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, amongst his main actions is to inform consumers and users if there are service stations that may be taking advantage of state protection aid for the war in Iran, such as the discount per liter of hydrocarbon, to increase their profits.
This information will be provided through a public list for "anomalous behavior" which has been set up on the website of the National Markets and Competition Commission to give consumers and users the possibility to make claims.
