280 million dollars of gasoline sales revenue was lost due to the negligence of the previous government

Jalil Salari, in an interview with the economic reporter of Fars news agency, referring to the latest status of the fuel export case in the previous government, said: With the spread of the corona virus in the last years of the 12th government and the decrease in domestic consumption of fuel, a good export opportunity was created to generate income, but from this opportunity It was not used well, so that the current refining and broadcasting company is still involved in negligence and mistakes of the past and continues to compensate them.

The CEO of the National Oil Products Refining and Distribution Company said: The story is that in the previous government in 1999, about 10.7 million barrels of gasoline and 33 thousand tons of light naphtha were sold to unreliable companies as exports, but Iran’s demands of 280 million dollars from this Unsettled exports, which is a significant number. This volume of fuel included 42 shipments.

He continued: The validation process of the buyer companies, which was carried out by the Export Guarantee Fund (affiliated to the Ministry of Security), is completely questionable. It is not known on what basis this fund recognized these buying companies as representatives of 11 foreign companies and issued 11 insurance policies for them. The interesting thing is that only checks were taken from these companies for guarantee.

Salari said: The amount of each check is about 8 trillion two hundred billion rials as a guarantee and it is in the form of rials, which unfortunately, even if collected, considering the current exchange rate, is far from the export value of Iran’s fuel shipments.

The CEO of the National Refining and Broadcasting Company said: “Unfortunately, this guarantee obtained by the Export Guarantee Fund was made in the form of a check in rials and without proper validation, and in the end, the buyer companies were introduced as representatives of foreign companies.”

He added: The interesting thing is that in the ground sale of fuel, this sale was done on credit, while these shipments should be sold in cash. According to the investigations, all the stages of valuation and obtaining collateral from these companies are ambiguous. Of course, regardless of the performance of the Export Development Fund, the broadcasting company itself in the previous government should have worked more carefully with regard to the past records and should have done the evaluation and confirmation of the representative position and the validation process of the company.

Salari stated: We also followed up on the issues of violations in fuel export transactions from the legal vice president, and the export guarantee fund has been condemned and has deviated from the provisions of Article 13 of the law on dealing with administrative violations of the fund.

The CEO of the National Refining and Distribution Company said: According to Paragraph B, Note 10 of the Budget Law of 1401, the debt due to the non-collection of gasoline export sources should be deducted from the annual appropriations budget and deposited into the account of the National Refining and Distribution Company, which has not happened so far. Is. Of course, with this action, in fact, an amount goes from the government’s pocket to the government’s pocket, and the money from gasoline export does not return to the country.

He emphasized: “Unfortunately, now the National Refining and Broadcasting Company is involved in erosion works and large legal cases have been formed around this issue. Surely, the ambiguities of issuing insurance policies and guarantees should be investigated by supervisory and custodian institutions.
