Tehran, Iran, Oct.30
Trend:
The presence of multinational and foreign companies as competitors in at the Energy Exchange is necessary for stability and security of the economy, and nobody should worry about it, a former Member of Iran Parliament told Trend.
"Launch of the exchange of oil was a step forward. The platform for the presence of trade and commerce activists in oil sector should be provided, said Asgar Jalalian.
"Iran has high potential as far as oil goes, so we need to take the necessary measures to remove obstacles,” he said.
Referring to the plan of offering oil via Energy Exchange he said that when he was an active member of the Parliament and the Energy Commission, he was always following this plan, which, unfortunately, was not realized before due to legal obstacles.
"I am now happy to see it finally being launched," Jalalian said.
Referring to the presence of foreign companies as oil buyers in the Energy Exchange, he said that trade has no borders, and the transnational trade is sustainable.
"Therefore, the route should be open to boost the foreign exchange in accordance with the regulations and laws," he said.
“The presence of multinational corporations and foreign companies is somehow a cause for stability and economic security, and Iran must celebrate it,” said Jalalian.
