The Greek Fuel Retailers Federation has called for the
immediate use of cash registers in the fuel service station network.
The federation of fuel company vendors last week vigorously came out
in favour of installing cash registers in petrol stations, a
long-standing demand by repeated governments that has always generated
opposition by the service station owners' associations.
The federation said a system to monitor the intake and outtake of fuels in stations should be installed in a second phase.
"Implementation of the measure to install cash registers is absolutely
necessary and will mark the inauguration of a system to monitor the
movement of fuels in stations, one that cannot be linked with any other
pre-conditions ... and something that exists in every other
member-state of the European Union and all other professional sectors,"
a federation press release stated, adding that any other reason cited
is merely a diversionary tactic aimed at delaying or preventing the
measure.
