At a meeting of the headquarters on the situation on the oil products market, held under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, proposals were made regarding the refinement of the mechanism of exchange trading, changes in standards for oil companies and to improve logistics. This is reported by "Kommersant" with reference to the participants of the meeting.

Thus, in order to stabilize the domestic fuel market, it is planned to launch a section of exchange trading in petroleum products for end consumers. This should simplify access to fuel.

It is also planned to oblige oil companies to send at least 40% of the raw materials for processing, followed by delivery to the domestic market.

In addition, they plan to include deliveries by road in the mandatory standard of stock exchange sales. This will reduce the less profitable wholesale supplies and minimize the tax risks arising from non-compliance with the standard.

Among other things, the acceleration of rail transportation of petroleum products, including by reducing the turnover time of tanks.
