The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on the budget and taxes Mikhail Ochapov demanded that the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Finance evidence of the damper effectiveness. He sent an appropriate letter to the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov and the Minister of Energy Nikolay Shulginov, reports the newspaper “Izvestia”.
In particular, schupov requested data that confirm the increase in the volume of processing products in the structure of the fuel market, a quantitative assessment of the deposit of the damper to the stabilization of fuel prices, as well as information on the presence of “super-profile” of oil companies – DamPfefe payers last year.
According to Schoupov himself, a sufficient time has passed enough to assess its effectiveness. However, fuel prices continue to grow constantly. “If we decide to change this mechanism or develop a new one, it will take time during which car owners will pay more and more. Therefore, you need to do it right now. Every day on the weight of gold,” he explained.
As a publication, a source in the State Duma told, if the ministries ignore the request or will not provide evidence, then the legislation may amend the cancellation of the damper and replacing it with a more efficient price containment mechanism.
