The Commission on Protection of Competition has ascertained Lukoil Bulgaria has committed abuse of dominant position on the market in wholesale fuel trading. According to the Commission, the company put a price squeeze on rivals by changing the price conditions in wholesaling and by removing discounts for bulk purchases which could violate competition on the market and affect consumer interests.

According to the regulator, this behavior by Lukoil Bulgaria is a strategy aimed at restricting wholesale trading in fuels in the country with the aim of boosting their dominant position on the market. The company has two months to submit its written objections to these allegations.
