The transparency board in Albania, which was founded to regulate the fuel market, according to the economic expert Pano Soko, has functioned as a cartel.
In "MCN", Soko says that they were not necessary, and that the government as a representative pulled them out of the hat like a rabbit and gave them to the citizens as candy.
"The board is like the work of conjurers who pull the rabbit out of the hat. I know how it came, they took people and asked for a reduction in the price of oil, and they told the government that it reduces a little of your taxes that you get, that you don't get 60% of the price , and they told him we want a price reduction, suspend the circulation and carbon tax, but they did not ask for price transparency.
Now the government taps like a prestigious, took out the board like a rabbit, gave it to the citizens as candy and said I will do magic, this, as a speculative structure, I do not ask for it, for an issue that had no value, and as such it was done only as obstacle to the way the oil price issue played out in the market.
I believe that looking at some of the indicators, they have made the citizen more angry, but basically it also operated as a cartel head, as a cartel agreement, now that we have cartels prohibited by law, we set up the board and the board has a fixed function as the cartel, he says oil is 240 lek, he looks at all 240 lek, despite the fact that he has the possibility to reduce it to 220 lek, but there is a reason to keep it as this is the decision of the board, and the citizens pay 240 because that's what the board said , they use this.
The boards are separated from the cartels only by a line," Pano Soko declared
