Gas prices: LPG unchanged, propane up

How it comes that after a strike the price of items goes up such as in the case of the propane gas which is used by a number of industries. Does this mean that when the strike stops the things goes back to their original price. Apart from this, does it mean that we have no reserve gas in the Gas plant tanks ? If so we soon hear of another increase in the Butane Gas used by the families. There it goes the 1.16 weekly euro increase. How can one plan in advance the running costs of a food outlet without passing back these increases to the consumers. Please be sincere to the people.

As there is VAT included, would my distributor issue a vat receipt?

Besides the door to door distributions, may we finally have the added help to buy the gas directly from any Service station ?

I am truely surprised there was no increase in our commonly used gas.Hasn^t the price gone up enough till now.Well,this time no increase but probably sooner than later we will hear of yet another increase of this household necessity.

@J Busuttil
I personally do not use propane gas,however its not rocket science to know that any product that will be produced with the use of propane gas will go up in price.
The price hike might not bother you,but I,m sure it will bother others.

May I ask, the stricks are on for a few weeks, so I understand that we do not have a reserve supply, the first insability in Italy and France will put our country to a dead Stop. Correct me
if I am wrong, this system does not comply with the EU regulations. Another point, what sort of agreement Malta and Italy has signed,will the country keep facing such shortages. If the agreement does not cover this section, Better Urgently Revise the Contract. Let us be smart and tackel the problem Now, the consumers will have rest of mind, and less grumbling all over the media.

Any excuse is good enough so long that the prices go up.
