The downstream market in Turkey is open and pricing is liberal. However, fuel taxation is among the highest worldwide. Taxes sum up to ~60% of the retail price.
„Enerji Piyasasi Düzenleme Kurumu“ (EPDK) is the regulatory agency for the downstream market in Turkey. The agency monitors actual pump prices, issues licenses to oil companies and retailers and defines and supervises quality standards. On their internet website http://www.epdk.gov.tr, EPDK offers a database of all monitored fuel prices as well as some legal framework and further information. However, information on the fuel price composition could not be found on their website (possibly because of the language barrier, as information is only available in Turkish).
