The government has laid out its response plan to the rising fuel costs triggered by the conflict in the Middle East. The Ministry for Regulation is now urging businesses, fuel users, freight operators and the wider public to report any barriers that could stand in the way of the government's response. "That's why we want to hear from people affected by edicts from Wellington; what regulatory barriers do you see getting in the way of fuel supply?" If there are regulations that make it harder to import, store, distribute, or use fuel efficiently, they need to be identified now.
