Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan: To prevent a shortage of petroleum products on the domestic market, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has developed a draft joint order of the Ministers of Energy, Finance, and Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Chairman of the National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On some issues of the export of petroleum products from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan”, providing for the extension of the ban for a period of six months for the export by road of gasoline, diesel fuel and certain types of petroleum products. The ban does not apply to the export of lubricating oils and to cases of export of petroleum products in gasoline tanks of vehicles provided by the manufacturer, as well as the export of fuel and lubricants in separate containers with a volume of no more than 20 liters.
