But that's not the only thing CPC has to worry about. At the end of last year, the National Development Conference demanded a timetable for liberalization for domestic petroleum products. The timetable will open the market in two stages. Imports of heating oil and aviation fuel will be permitted starting in January of 1999, and imports of all petroleum products will be completely liberalized beginning in 2002.
去年底，國發會要求訂定國內油品自由化的時間表，確定油品市場將分兩階段開放：民國八十八年一月先開放燃料油和航空油的進口；九十一年起，再開放所有油品自由進口。
