About this statute

This text identifies Law 693 of 2001 and says it concerns rules on carburant alcohols, with incentives for their production, commercialization, and consumption. Gasolines in urban areas over 500,000 people must contain oxygenated components; smaller cities may adopt the measure, and ministries set the technical and environmental rules and deadlines. La producción, distribución y comercialización de alcoholes no potables quedan en libre competencia; los distribuidores mayoristas de combustibles deben encargarse de mezclar etanol carburante con el combustible base, y no se permite transportar etanol carburante por ciertos poliductos. Etanol carburante used in gasolines and diesel is treated as a factor supporting environmental cleanup, energy self-sufficiency, and productive employment, and it receives special treatment in the relevant sector policies. This article says the law takes effect when it is promulgated and repeals any provisions that conflict with it.
