The Consumer Protection Commission (CCP) has launched a thorough investigation into the pricing strategies used by Lukoil for its fuel sales, with the aim of determining whether consumers’ economic interests have been adversely affected in the retail fuel market.
This decision follows a joint exchange of information between the CCP and the Commission for the Protection of Competition (CPC), which raised credible concerns that the pricing practices of Lukoil Neftochim Burgas and Lukoil Bulgaria may have harmed the general public.
As part of the investigation, the CCP will gather and analyze relevant data related to how retail fuel prices are set. The primary goal is to evaluate whether any consumer rights have been violated through the pricing of final products. The commission plans to examine the fairness and transparency of the pricing methods used.
This inquiry is part of an ongoing collaboration between the CCP and CPC, aimed at closely monitoring market behavior and preventing unfair trade practices. Both organizations continue to coordinate their efforts to quickly identify and address potential violations, strengthen consumer protections, and promote ethical practices within the fuel industry.
