Union says more than 90% of gas re -ell vendors in para | The economy
Most of the cooking gas dealers working in Para do not have legal authority to work. From the estimate The Union of Para’s liquefied petroleum gas reseling companiesIt denies the lack of supervision of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) and warns consumer losses. “In the last assessment we made, when we exchange the latest communication with AnP last year, we have been working with at least 10 unauthorized people,” said Union President Fragsinaldo Olivera.
He explained that the secret sale was decentralized and decentralized: “Since the ANP is limited to five cylinders, a person who is limited to a person in the house, sells the magnet that has a secret dealer who has a fixed point for his own use and in the area he intends to act in the area. According to him, the use of motorcycles is also common and the indirect support of official dealers who supply these illegal items.
In addition to the unfair competition, the consumer is more likely to have losses. “If the main danger to the consumer is that the cylinder is giving the complainant, he will not be complaining. And today, the cylinder that spends a lower -income family is between $ 130 and $ 140. The main agent who has suffered losses is the consumer itself.

Even with this important number, the entity president said the check was useless: “We have no news that ANP is spending some power to deal with this secret market.” And complete: “Unfortunately, the Sale of LPG re -ALE by the National Petroleum Agency, which is not working as a National Petroleum Agency, is thrown to its own luck.”
Losses and losses for those who work in the law
15 years ago, David Nassimento, who was authorized by the re -El siege in Belem, directly affects the stability of competitive institutions with secret companies. “We will recharge from licensing, inspection, and extinguishing … a series of costs. Only legitimacy and documentation will cost my re -ALE sale, 000 8,000 per year,” he said.
For him, the difference between who is regular and who is dealing with unauthorized creates an unfair competition. “Nothing secretly conveyed, it sells without a note. They are discussing the price they wanted. We sell at $ 120 and he sells up to $ 115 at $ 115. And he buys a legal dealer, at the company door, and sold back.”

David also highlights the risk of incorrect storage: “There are mysterious storage of many cylinders inside the house. If you have leakage in a closed space, it causes a tragedy. Storage, extinguishers, all of us have a ventilated area for regularized area,” he compared.
The dealer reiterated the union’s speech about the lack of supervision.
“The last time I was supervised I was in 2019. I have taken three penalties. Meanwhile, the secret is working without suffering,” he lamented. “The consumer is also in danger because they allowed anyone in his house,” he said.
