Disagreements with Ministry of National Economy

The establishment of Agip led to conflicts between Nafta and the Ministry of National Economy. The Ministry sought to regulate the expansion of petrol stations by requiring that new concessions be contingent upon an approval estimate from Agip. This move was aimed at ensuring that the growth of petrol stations aligned with the interests of the newly formed company. The disagreements highlighted the tension between government oversight and private enterprise in the energy sector. However, the situation was resolved amicably through negotiations initiated by Agip, which demonstrated the company's willingness to collaborate with governmental authorities to facilitate its operations. This resolution not only allowed for the continued expansion of petrol stations but also set a precedent for future interactions between private companies and government entities in the energy industry.
