LISBON Travis Kelce Womens Jersey , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Portuguese government has asked the European Union to investigate possible price fixing by fuel companies in Portugal, local media reported on Thursday.

Secretary of State for Energy Jorge Seguro Sanches sent a letter to the European Commission requesting that its competition body verify whether rules and regulations are being adhered to in setting consumer fuel prices in Portugal.

The request comes as a consequence of "significant and systematic divergences" in fuel prices in Portugal compared to elsewhere.

The letter states that in recent years there have been "successive fuel price increases that do not reflect the international market".

Indeed, the Portuguese has made a habit of crossing the border into Spain to buy gas canisters, sometimes at half the price that they are available for in Portugal, and to fill up vehicle petrol tanks.

Portuguese consumers have traditionally blamed the government for imposing high taxes and tariffs. The government now points the finger at industry price fixing and abuse of dominant positions.

A vocal investor in Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) and Viacom Inc (VIAB.O) is calling for the boards of both companies to seek outside investments from strategic partners in the vein of legendary investor Warren Buffett to help boost the value of their stocks.

In an article reviewed by Reuters that is to be published on the Internet on Thursday Patrick Mahomes II Womens Jersey , New York-based SpringOwl Asset Management managing director Eric Jackson said Yahoo and Viacom would benefit from outside investment, and pointed to Goldman Sachs Group Inc's (GS.N) weathering the financial crisis after taking on a $5 billion investment from Warren Buffett in 2008.

SpringOwl holds undisclosed stakes in Yahoo and Viacom.

"Although some shareholders of both Yahoo and Viacom think that a simple sale or break-up of both companies is the best way to create value for shareholders, we believe that both companies could benefit from their own version of the "Buffett Convert," Jackson said.

Jackson said that while the stakes of investors would be diluted if an outside investor stepped in, "they would still be better off because their shares would likely get re-rated upwards substantially with this new partner sitting around the board table."

Yahoo and Viacom declined to comment.

Both Yahoo and Viacom have become targets of activist shareholders.

Yahoo has been under pressure to separate its Asian assets and auction off its core business. Its shares have fallen about 40 percent over the last year.

Viacom is the subject of a lawsuit claiming that its executive chairman Tyreek Hill Womens Jersey , Sumner Redstone, is incapacitated.

According to Jackson, Yahoo should turn to Liberty Media Corp (LMCA.O), whose chairman John Malone is a whiz at finding tax efficiencies, or telecommunications companies Verizon (VZ.N) or AT&T (T.N) Armani Watts Womens Jersey , which could also bring traffic to Yahoo's properties.

For Viacom, it could benefit from investment and insight from China's Alibaba (BABA.N), Amazon (AMZN.O) or AMC Entertainment holdings, he said. Jackson has previously suggested that Viacom consider a merger with AMC.

Jackson added that Paramount, the movie studio owned by Viacom Dorian O'Daniel Womens Jersey , could become more valuable to investors if Amazon, Alibaba, Apple or Google invested.
