Monopoly in gas market

02/08/2011 15:55

The Competition Authority ordered the concessionary company that manages Porto Romano to unblock liquid gas cargos.

The authority declared that this port has forbidden the cargos of some private subjects, and it suspects that this measure has been taken for limiting competition in this market.

“The Competition Commission declares that this might be an urgent situation, which risks creating a great and irreparable damage for market competition. The Commission decided to open a preliminary investigation in this market”, declared Ermal Nazidi from the Law Office of the Authority of Competition.

The liquid gas market has shown monopoly tendencies even in the past, when some companies tried to control the market through dubious practices, mainly by limiting the unload points in ports.
