The policy of the caretaker government in the processing and export of fuels aims to ensure more affordable prices for consumers and compliance with the EU legal framework, Hristo Alexiev, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policies and Minister of Transport and Communications told journalists. 

In his words, Bulgaria currently has the cheapest fuel in Europe. A decision of the Council of Ministers to allow the export of fuels produced at the refinery in Burgas (petrol, fuel oil, gas oil) has been put forward for public discussion. 

Alexiev emphasized that the export or re-export of crude oil from Bulgaria is absolutely prohibited, but this does not apply to the export of oil products. The deputy prime minister pointed out that if fuels were processed on a larger scale, the refinery could afford better prices for consumers.
