1. Pursuant to section 41 of the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission Act 2010 and the paragraph 3 of the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (Control of Prices for Supply of LPG Products) Order 2021, FCCC hereby makes the following authorisation effective from 1 December 2021.
Citation and commencement
2. This Authorisation may be cited as Final Authorisation of Prices for the Supply of LPG Products in Fiji and is effective from 1 December 2021.
Maximum prices
3. (a) The prices set out in Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 herein shall be the maximum retail and wholesale prices, as the case may be, at which the goods mentioned therein may be sold in the area so specified in the schedule. Furthermore, where the maximum price of an item listed in the schedules is required to be rounded up by reason of cessations of one (1) cent and two (2) cent denominations, the consequential increase in the price of that item does not constitute a contravention of this determination.
(b) Based on the current pricing practices by the two companies, the pricing structure for Vanua Levu and Viti Levu is same, whereas the Outer Island Prices are priced slightly high to account for freight costs. The cost structure for transportation of LPG to Taveuni from Vanua Levu is considered and included as a separate schedule.
(c) Where specified quantities in Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not available or a new quantity is introduced in the market, proportionate prices MUST be applied to all other quantities.
(d) For Bulk Gas, the prices have been set as Ex-Factory prices and the suppliers can add a reasonable (market determined) freight and delivery charges.
