Senacon (National Consumer Secretariat), linked to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, announced this week the launch of a channel dedicated to specific complaints about fuel prices across Brazil. The channel aims to combat the practice of abusive prices at gas stations, following the reduction announced by Petrobras in Gasoline, Diesel and Cooking Gas, last week.

Consumers now have the option of registering complaints through an online form, which is now available for public use.

The initiative is part of a set of measures adopted to ensure that Petrobras' decision to reduce the prices of fuel sold to distributors is implemented effectively. The reduction was R$ 0.44 per liter in the average price of diesel, which went from R$ 3.46 to R$ 3.02, and R$ 0.40 per liter for gasoline, which fell from R$ 3.18 to R$ 2 .78 in refineries.

Consumers complain about the price of fuel

However, despite the price cuts, consumers in several regions of the country reported that the discounts were not applied and, in some cases, prices even rose and then returned to the previous level, in an attempt to deceive the reduction in prices. prices.

On May 24, Senacon will coordinate a “Fair Price Task Force” across the country. The intention is to check whether gas stations are passing on price variations to end consumers correctly and whether they are complying with current rules and regulations.

In conjunction with the Procons of the states, fuel prices will be monitored in different cities in Brazil, with the highest and lowest values reported in Senacon establishments. A public report containing the data will be released on May 30.

“Understanding the Fuel Market”

The Government is providing a training opportunity with the course “Understanding the Fuel Market”, and registration continues until May 29th. The focus of the initiative is to provide knowledge about the functioning of the fuel market, presenting the characteristics of the products sold and the role of the ANP (National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels) in regulating these activities.

Lasting 20 hours, the course was developed focusing primarily on consumers, public agents from bodies linked to consumer protection and defense, as well as professionals in the fuel sector. The objective is to provide a better understanding of this market, enabling participants to understand how it works and how the Government works to regulate it.

From now on, the Government will no longer use the PPI (International Parity Price) to set fuel prices in Brazil. The policy will be autonomous from Petrobras, which will judge the price charged in the domestic market. Lula was a supporter of this measure and promised to extinguish the PPI during his campaign.
