With The Aim Of Reducing Fuel Prices For Consumers, Station Owners Begin To Support Direct Fuel Sales By Producers And Suppliers Without The Assistance Of ANP

Fuel dealer unions from 17 states across the country have signed a unified position regarding the changes proposed by the provisional measures of No. 1063 and No. 1069, which authorize direct sales of ethanol by importers and producers to fuel stations and end the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) assistance for brand usage, allowing fuel station owners to purchase common products from other suppliers, regardless of the brand displayed by the station.

The position of the dealers comes after fuel distributors expressed criticism of the market liberalization at the beginning of the week. Despite showing support for the authorization of direct ethanol sales, the station owners highlighted their concerns about a new form of taxation to prevent evasion.

If a new form of taxation is created, it could cause market imbalance. Based on their position, fuel station owners believe that the market liberalization will allow for new negotiation forms to be more accessible to suppliers.

Fuel Dealers’ Union Speaks Out On The Provisional Measures

In a statement, the Fuel Dealers’ Union expressed certainty that the measure will help stations have more competitive prices for consumers, ending the exorbitant prices currently observed, especially among small and medium dealers.

Thus, with the end of brand tutela, the ANP can prioritize regulatory actions related to the segment, especially those concerning volumetry and quality for consumers.

The Union states that accelerating tax reform, unifying tax values for all states to achieve a more balanced market, is the primary and most effective measure that can be taken to reduce fuel prices for consumers, which is desired by everyone, from suppliers to dealers.

End Of Brand Loyalty

Currently, ANP regulations state that all fuel must go through suppliers before reaching the pumps, which will no longer be mandatory with the new provisional measure.

On several occasions, President Jair Bolsonaro defended that direct sales is a great way to reduce, even if slightly, fuel prices. The measure will also allow a station to purchase fuel from any distributor, regardless of which brand it is associated with.

Currently, a station associated with a supplier can only sell fuels from that supplier. Through the provisional measure, there will be the possibility to buy from any distributor, as long as the consumer is properly informed.
