The president of the Special Commission, Rafael Sarmiento, explained that “This meeting was to learn about a bill, we established a work route that will be executed in the coming weeks, we must remember that the project was introduced to this State Branch by President Luis Redondo, and that for the first time there will be a law and a regulatory framework, all countries have a law that regulates the commercialization of hydrocarbons and only Honduras does not have it.”

The day ended very successfully, a schedule will be shared that will be made public through the social networks of the National Congress.

The director of the Hydrocarbons Unit, Carlos Posas, explained that they are on the right path to have a law that regulates the commercialization of hydrocarbons in the country.

"Honduras does not have a law, it has lower-level regulations and with the law the Honduran, the consumer will be protected and all the key sectors of the chain will be incorporated," he concluded.
