The measures launched today in the CDM on bills and on the price of petrol and diesel are today “important, motivated by the fact of giving an answer to the consequences” for our country “of the war in Ukraine”. Thus Prime Minister Mario Draghi at the press conference underlining that “the measure we have discussed has found unanimous support”. The premier thanked “ministers Franco, Cingolani, Giorgetti and Undersecretary Garofoli for their important contribution” and explained that with the measures approved today by the CDM, we want to “help citizens and businesses to support the rise in energy prices with particular attention to the most needy families and to the most exposed supply chains. We improve some safeguards to protect our entrepreneurial system “.
“In total, the measures amount to € 4.4 billion – which are added to the over 16 billion we have spent since last summer to defend Italians from the increase in the cost of energy “.” Unlike the previous measures, most of today’s interventions are not financed by the public budget, but by companies in the energy sector. We tax a part of the excess profits that producers are making thanks to the increase in the costs of raw materials, and we redistribute this money to companies and families in difficulty “.
As for the price of fuel, “until the end of April, the price at the pump of petrol and diesel will be reduced by 25 cents per liter“. As for the bills,” we increase the number of families protected from the increases from 4 to 5.2 million and who will pay for energy like last summer “.
“We allow – said the premier – the payment in installments of bills up to two years. We increase tax credits on the cost of energy and gas in favor of energy-intensive and gas-intensive companies and we set up new ones for all companies that use electricity and gas. We create funds to help the road transport, agriculture and fishing sectors “. “One of the reasons for shortening the intervention period is also to see how the markets will behave in the coming days and weeks. We will examine it, follow the market trend and decide. But in the meantime, this period of great volatility is important.”
Speaking ofUkraineDraghi explained that “in today’s summit with the Prime Ministers of Spain, Portugal and Greece we agreed on the importance of taking a common position at European level to reduce energy prices. We intend to bring this position to the European Council of the next week. The crisis in Ukraine is a European crisis, and requires truly European responses. ” “We are strengthening the national reception system, to manage the influx of refugees from Ukraine which are already increasing and we expect to increase again in the coming weeks,” she said.
