监管机构有权调查石油公司是否存在共谋行为

政府前反垄断负责人表示,菲律宾竞争委员会(PCC)和能源监管委员会(ERC)有权调查石油公司是否存在共谋行为。经济部长阿塞尼奥·巴利萨坎(Arsenio Balisacan)在众议院听证会上分享了这一观点。议员们呼吁在燃料危机期间加强执法力度。

在众议院立法能源行动与发展、经济、规划与发展联合委员会的一次听证会上,经济、规划与发展部长阿塞尼奥·巴利萨坎表示,政府并非对去监管化石油行业中的共谋行为束手无策。他曾于杜特尔特政府时期担任菲律宾竞争委员会主席。

“我认为问题的关键在于,石油监管机构没有行使各自的权力,以确保市场参与者在市场竞争中保持公平,”巴利萨坎说道。他指出,在一个主要参与者极少的、高度集中的行业中,出现类似欧佩克(OPEC)的卡特尔行为是很容易的。

众议院筹款委员会众议员米罗·昆博(Miro Quimbo)呼吁菲律宾竞争委员会(PCC)和能源监管委员会(ERC)加强执法,特别是在美以对伊战争引发燃料危机的背景下。他表示:“实际上,政府拥有足够的权力……能够预防、查明、调查并惩处那些牟取暴利的个人。”

与此同时,ACT教师党众议员安东尼奥·蒂尼奥(Antonio Tinio)敦促能源部拆解油价构成,并公开石油公司的实际利润。他指出当地油价涨幅高于国际市场指标,并表示:“现在就拆解油价吧。如果确实不存在过度定价的情况,那么提高透明度应该是最容易做到的事情。”
