TEHRAN -- Majlis Energy Committee Chairman Kamal Daneshyar said here on Monday the government should submit its $4 billion bill for gasoline imports to the Parliament until Wednesday.

The $4 billion budget will be allocated to gasoline imports from the nation’s Oil Stabilization Fund (OSF), said the official, however adding, “Since necessary conditions for rationing gasoline have not been yet provided, no measure can be taken in this regard. “To provide the required conditions included in Note 13 of the current year’s Budget Law, the government will be allowed to develop the gasoline transportation and fuel smart card systems.”
