Bulgaria's energy market remains a comparatively challenging place to operate with continued cases of fraud being investigated in both the upstream issuance of licences, and in the transparency of downstream exports. Bulgaria's Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) opened a formal investigation in February 2016 against seven petrol and diesel fuel retailers in addition to the Neftochim refinery. These retailers are suspected of entering a price-fixing cartel and abusing its dominant market position on the wholesale market. Following the eight month investigation, the CPC said in October 2016 that it had found evidence of a cartel agreement between fuel retailers Shell Bulgaria, OMV Bulgaria, NIS Petrol, Eco Bulgaria, Lukoil Bulgaria and local petrol distributor Petrol. Nevertheless, no mention was made of the Lukoil Neftochim refinery. In May 2017, Neftochim was cleared from the investigation, with no signs of wrongdoing.

ABARES has undertaken regular surveys of key Commonwealth fisheries since the early 1990s. The resulting data are used to assess the financial performance of operators in the fishery and the economic performance of the fishery as a whole. These performance measures act as important indicators for fishery managers (Box 1). To provide a more comprehensive assessment of fishery-level performance, ABARES expanded the former Australian Fisheries Surveys report series in 2013 to include other economic indicators that draw on data collected from the surveys. These indicators include productivity and terms of trade indexes, management costs and quota latency measures. In this report, survey-based results are presented for 2013–14 and 2014–15 and preliminary non–survey based results are presented for 2015–16 and 2016–17.
