On 25 June 2002 the Parliament adopted Law on State
Reserves of Oil Products and Oil No IX-986. The reserves must be
accumulated by oil manufacturing and importing enterprises, energy
manufacturing enterprises (only reserves of liquid fuel (boiler oil)),
as well as the enterprises engaged in import and manufacture of
liquefied oil gas. 50 % of all reserves are accumulated and handled
using the state funds. The expenses of accumulation and handling
of reserves, incurred by the enterprises that are obliged to accumulate
reserves, are included in the costs of the goods sold and services
rendered. The reserves sufficient for at least 90 days must be
accumulated until 31 July 2009. |
