Industry and Commerce Minister Manuel Garcia Arevalo warns that the government will not permit any business group, whether national or international, to monopolize the nation's fuel sales and distribution. He said the ministry would be watchful for any irregularities affecting the sale of gasoline and diesel, according to a report in El Nuevo Diario.

Garcia Arevalo also said that any irregularities in fuel sales would be investigated and punished according to what is stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic.

His comments were made in response to a report by the National Gasoline Retailers Association (Anadegas) and the Autonomous Petroleum Transport Drivers Union of an alleged maneuver by the Sol group of Venezuela to acquire the holdings of Texaco Dominicana.
