Description

Brazil enacted Law No. 9,847, on inspection and enforcement in the national fuel supply sector. It set administrative sanctions and rules for oversight of fuel-related activities covered under Brazil’s petroleum framework. The law strengthened the government’s ability to monitor and penalize irregular conduct in the sector. This mattered for consumer protection and market order in fuels.
