Gradually reduce the prohibitive export duty from the current 90% to 66% of the duty on the export of petroleum products plans the Government of the Russian Federation in the near future, said the head of Ministry of energy of the Russian Federation Sergey Shmatko. High duty was introduced for light oil less exported from Russia. The situation began to stabilize. In addition, the government granted permission for the production of fuel of the second class (this should improve the situation on the domestic market). Therefore, the need for higher duties fell, and soon they slowly but steadily will decline, the words of the Minister RIA "Novosti". Recall that in the spring a number of Russian regions erupted petrol crisis, which began with the Altai region. To normalize the situation, the government of the Russian Federation in may raised the export duty on petroleum products to $408,3 per ton. The Federal Antimonopoly service saw the reason for the rise in gasoline prices in Russia in the collusion of the oil and fined a number of companies.
