参议员要求石油公司承担责任

参议院针对政府应对中东危机的调查正将矛头指向石油公司,怀疑其在燃油价格飙升之际牟取暴利。参议员谢温·加查利安(Sherwin Gatchalian)对企业以高价出售旧库存燃油表示担忧。参议员巴姆·阿基诺(Bam Aquino)则呼吁对基本生活物资实施价格冻结。

在参议院针对政府应对中东危机设立的特别委员会(PROTECT)听证会上,参议员谢温·加查利安强调称,石油公司可能通过将旧库存燃油按照霍尔木兹海峡关闭后全球价格上涨的水平进行销售,从而每天获利高达30亿比索。他敦促菲律宾竞争委员会(Philippine Competition Commission)监督这些企业的反竞争行为和滥用职权行为。加查利安拒绝了行业内针对旧库存采取的“重置成本”定价模式,坚持认为价格应反映原始成本。

包括壳牌(Shell)、佩特龙(Petron)和雪佛龙(Chevron)在内的石油公司告知参议员,目前供应依然紧张,库存预计仅能维持到五月。

参议员巴姆·阿基诺敦促政府对基本生活必需品实施价格冻结,以保护民众免受油价上涨带来的通胀影响。他表示:“我们需要立即采取行动,我的建议是为许多已经在困境中挣扎的菲律宾人实施价格冻结。政府现在就应该这样做。”

官员们证实,目前仅采取了价格监测措施,并未实施价格冻结。此次听证会是参议院对政府应对中东危机举措进行审查的一部分。
