According to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, introducing diesel fuel export quotas for Russian producers is impractical, as the domestic market is fully supplied with this type of fuel.
Therefore, he rejected the proposal to introduce regulations on diesel exports, even for oil refineries. Currently, producers have the right to freely export diesel fuel, while traders have been deprived of this right since the beginning of October, as noted by NiK.
Novak also emphasized that the northern territories' fuel needs are fully met and there is no shortage, according to Neft.Kapital.
Nik.Kapital notes that from the beginning of October until the end of the year, Russia has imposed a ban on diesel fuel exports for companies that are not producers, namely those that refine less than one million tons of oil, as well as for organizations engaged exclusively in the resale of diesel fuel.
In October, diesel fuel shipments from the port of Primorsk are expected to increase by 4.1% compared to the previous month, reaching 1 million tons.
Earlier, Novak announced that approximately 1,500 representatives from over 30 countries would gather for an international conference on the creative economy. The event will be part of the Russian Creative Seasons.
