Now, Petrobras has until 2021 to sell the refineries. Cade head Alexandre Barreto said the debate on the refinement market started after the fuel crisis broke out last year during the strike staged by truck drivers. The discussion was on how the price of fuel was set in the country. "The assessment indicated that the nearly monopolistic structure in the sector could lead to anti-competitive practices on the part of Petrobras. At no moment, however, was it said that these practices were carried out," he reported. The plan includes the sale of refineries Abreu e Lima, Landulpho Alves, Gabriel Passos, Presidente Getúlio Vargas, Alberto Pasqualini, Isaac Sabbá, Lubrificantes e Derivados de Petróleo do Nordeste, and Unidade de Industrialização do Xisto. The deal also covers divestment in assets linked to fuel transport at subsidiary BR Distribuidora.
