But as the new regulations have not yet been published, nothing will change in practice.
The new law states that a Galp retailer would for example have to accept a Repsol bottle and vice versa, and the price of the new bottle of gas would have the amount of gas in the old bottle deducted.
The Portuguese consumer association Deco, said there is often about 300 grams of gas that cannot be used in the bottles when they run out, which could cost consumers around €72 a year.
Bottled gas accounts for around 75 percent of the gas market in Portugal, where only 25 percent have access to piped gas.
Gas law toothless until regulations published
