The fuel sector was one of the most frequently mentioned by consumers polled by Agency Brazil as one where the lack of competition is common. Moreover, they say, with that, consumers are the biggest losers.

This is the view, for example, the legal adviser, Adriana Mali. She believes that in Brazil as a whole, it appears the practice of cartel in the oil industry, and the fact that the government share in profits means that there is no effective enforcement.

For her, there is no opening for other companies to act in this market and there is no competition, which leads to high prices, with obvious damage to the consumer. "I think the practice of cartel creates unfair competition," said Adriana.

Some consumers said they perceive they are disadvantaged when they fuel their cars. For the military police Góes Braga, there is no option for cheaper services in gas stations in the Federal District. He believes that the lack of oversight and failure of government to contribute to this practice. "It's a shame the existence of the cartel, the consumer always loses."

The trader Ieda Santos believes that lack awareness among entrepreneurs that the biggest and ultimately hurts everyone. In the opinion of Ieda, the government should curb the combination of price and radically, by failing to do so, the practice of cartel has been strengthened. "The government is seeing happen and not take any interim order for this to change," he said.

Now retired João Carvalho, who lives in Rio de Janeiro, said it is common practice for cartel in the fuel sector in your city. He believes in Brasilia perhaps it is confirmed that competition. "In Rio de Janeiro it, this practice is not visible," says Rio.

In this Thursday (8), the justice minister, Tarso Genro, signed an agreement with the European Union to combat unfair competition, in a ceremony marking the National Day of Cartel.
