The plenary of the Chamber approved today (7) a bill that requires companies in the fuel sector to send to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) the data that make up the prices of commercialized products. The bill goes to the Senate for review.
According to the text, the sending of information will cover producers of oil, natural gas, biofuels and natural gas. The ANP, in turn, will inform, monthly, through the internet, the composition of the average prices to the consumer in the capitals of the states of five fuels: automotive gasoline; diesel oil; liquefied petroleum gas; aviation kerosene; and hydrated ethanol.
According to the proposal, the ANP will also have to inform, every month, the composition of the average selling prices of natural gas to piped gas distributors in the capitals of states that have a point of supply for this fuel.
The project requires companies to inform the average values of 11 parts of the fuel consumer prices, such as the average cost of producing oil of national origin; the average cost of producing natural gas of national origin; the billing price of importers; the gross margin of fuel distribution; gross margin from resale of automotive fuels and taxes paid. Companies that fail to report these amounts will be subject to fines ranging from R$5,000 to R$1 million.
