SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to stop publishing Latin America ARPEL postings

Platts confirms it will stop publishing consumer price postings in Latin America as gathered by the Asociacion Regional de Empresas del Sector Petroleo (ARPEL) with effect January 2, 2015.

The decision reflects diminished appetite for the data from Platts subscribers and follows a proposal first published on October 31, 2014, to stop publishing this data.

The ARPEL postings are currently published in full each day on Platts Global Alert page 474, with a smaller selection published daily in Platts Latin American Wire. All of the postings are also in the Platts price database under data codes beginning ARP.

Please send any further comments and feedback to americas_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
