Petroleum Market Law
EPDK licensing processes, dealership and distribution contracts, actions filed against administrative monetary penalties and license cancellations.
What do we do in this area?
Activity in the petroleum market is subject to a license obtained from EPDK, and supervision is continuous. Administrative monetary penalties are high, and license cancellation is a consequence that completely halts operations. The dispute often takes shape not at the lawsuit stage, but at the moment the inspection report is drawn up.
Scope:
- Distributor, dealership, storage, transmission, and bunkering license applications and amendment processes
- Preparation and termination of dealership, usufruct, and sole-source sales contracts
- Annulment actions against EPDK administrative monetary penalties
- Requests for stay of execution against license cancellation and operation suspension decisions
- Disputes arising from claims of fuel contrary to national marker and technical regulations
- Defense in files involving allegations of fuel smuggling
- Station transfer, lease, and usufruct right disputes
- Advisory on vertical agreements and competition limits
