Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca will meet with the Minister of Energy Virgil Popescu and the Minister of Economy, Florin Spataru, on Thursday morning.
In the meeting scheduled for 09:30, at Victoria Palace, the chairman of the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), Horia Miron Constantinescu, as well as the chairman of the Competition Council, Bogdan Chiritoriu and the chairman of the National Tax Management Authority (ANAF), Mirela Calugareanu, will also take part, the Government's press office informed.
Gas stations nationwide were packed with drivers, on Wednesday evening, scared that fuel price will exceed 10 RON per liter, just as it was circulated in the public space.
The minister of Energy Virgil Popescu said on Wednesday evening, regarding the fact that fuel prices have reached 11 RON per liter, that they left from the MOL gas stations.
"This is about the MOL network, because from this network, in Beius, the information left, of 11 RON. (...) This information circulated social media and ended up creating panic in Romania in a very short time: huge lines in gas stations that as of tomorrow prices will be 10 and 11 RON and more, that we will end up without stocks of gas and petrol. (...) It is excluded to assist in a price explosion for gas and petrol, given the fact that the price per barrel has started going down," Virgil Popescu said, for private TV Broadcaster Digi 24.
Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca ordered ample verifications in gas stations.
"There is no real reason for the accelerated increase of prices in Romania. Our country has enough fuel stocks. PM Nicolae Ciuca has ordered ample verifications in gas stations. The Romanian Government will not allow any slippage, no attempt of speculation," the Executive spokesman, Dan Carbunaru said.
