参议院委员会将调查石油公司是否存在串通行为

参议院的一个特别委员会将对石油公司在中东战争爆发之初串通提高油价的可能性展开调查。参议员Sherwin Gatchalian对能源部调查卡特尔化行为的举措表示欢迎。参议员JV Ejercito则敦促政府动用紧急权力。

参议院成立了一个名为PROTECT的特别委员会,旨在应对石油危机,并将启动一项调查,以查明石油公司是否在中东战争爆发时串通提高价格。作为“及时有效危机战略主动响应与监督(PROTECT)”委员会的主席,参议员Sherwin Gatchalian对能源部副部长Sharon Garin请求菲律宾竞争委员会调查卡特尔化和牟取暴利的行为表示欢迎。Gatchalian在接受菲律宾语采访时表示:“有正式声明指出存在类似卡特尔的行为或可能的串通行为,这是一件好事。”他指出,不同公司同时出现幅度相似的涨价是卡特尔化的一个指标,并计划就非中东地区的供应协议及反牟利措施寻求进展更新。他批评石油公司以攀升后的重置成本出售旧库存,坚称它们应该沿用原先的定价。与此同时,参议员JV Ejercito呼吁马科斯政府援引《石油放松管制法》第14(e)条下的紧急权力,暂时接管石油运营并实施价格上限。他在接受dwIZ电台采访时表示:“应该实施这项措施,以便政府至少能够控制价格上涨,因为现在正处于国家紧急状态。”考虑到公众对油价“涨快跌慢”的抱怨,他建议对该法律进行审查,因为目前法律仅限能源部进行监测。
