Romania’s Competition Council is closely monitoring fuel prices following the end of a temporary price cap on fuel surcharges and excise duty reductions on diesel. The council aims to determine how changes in international quotes, costs, and commercial conditions are impacting prices at the pump. This monitoring comes after the expiration of measures designed to limit fuel costs for consumers. Authorities seek to ensure fair pricing practices now that the market is fully liberalized. The move will assess if retailers are accurately reflecting global market fluctuations in their pricing. Initial reports indicate prices have been lower than the EU average.
