Spain: Fenadismer asks CNMC to publish the list of fuel stations that did not apply the diesel discount

After the actual discount fell far short of what was promised, Fenadismer met with the Economy Minister, Carlos Cuerpo, and is now asking Spain's competition authority to publish the list of stations with "anomalous" pricing behaviour, opening the way to complaints and tax-agency inspections.

We previously reported that the actual professional diesel discount in Spain came to just 5 cents, far below the 20 cents promised under Royal Decree-Law 18/2026. Fenadismer now takes it a step further: from asking for compensation to asking for sanctions.

What changed

At a meeting with Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo, the federation presented concrete figures: in September, the discount owed was 12 cents per litre, but in the first few days it only reached 6 cents — and meanwhile the pump price rose by a further 16 cents, effectively wiping out the tax benefit for anyone refuelling.

What Fenadismer is asking for

Based on the publication and monitoring obligations set out in the June Royal Decree that created the second transport aid package, Fenadismer is asking the Ministry to instruct Spain’s National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) to publish, without further delay, the list of fuel stations with anomalous pricing behaviour and the monitoring report already required by law. The list would give hauliers grounds for complaints and give the Tax Agency a basis for inspecting the stations named.

Why it matters for hauliers leaving Portugal

Anyone crossing Spain to refuel at lower prices should keep their receipts: if the CNMC does publish the list, it could become the basis for reclaiming the discount not applied on refuelling already done since September.

France to cut diesel prices from 1 November using strategic reserves

The French government will release 10 million barrels of diesel from its strategic reserves, bought at around €0.28/litre before the Middle East war escalated, to cut pump prices between 1 November and 31 January 2027. The planned cut is 12 to 18 cents per litre for road diesel. Meanwhile, French hauliers'' associations are asking for administrative, not criminal, penalties for shippers who fail to index the price to diesel.

Spain: September's decree brings two different fuel aids — don't mix up the figures

The Real Decreto-ley 25/2026, de 29 de septiembre, bundles together two separate measures: a general cut to the Hydrocarbons Tax for all drivers (20, 13 and 6 cents/litre in October, November and December) and the already-known extraordinary aid for professional diesel, which rises in the opposite direction (5, 12 and 19 cents/litre). Fenadismer challenges how the cut is managed through filling stations.
