Petrol, Salvini presses the government. Assotir: good unlocking of the 500 million fund, resources immediately
“Petrol and diesel discount of 25 cents per liter, for the fundamental League to confirm it for the whole summer, we expect the government decree by June”. The leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, writes on Twitter.
Fuels, Assotir: good fund release of 500 million, resources immediately – The Government now immediately disburses the tax credits to the trucking companies, otherwise the 500 million fund created to meet the expensive diesel runs the risk of being useless. This was requested by ASSOTIR, the Italian Association of Transport Companies, welcoming with applause the announcement made this morning by the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility on the release of the fund. “The release of these resources – explains the National President of ASSOTIR, Anna Vita Manigrasso – is a positive fact. It was a duty that simply implements the decision, taken months ago by the Government, to limit the inequality created to the detriment of Euro 5 and 6 vehicles. “” Timeliness, however – continues Manigrasso – is a determining factor for an intervention to be effective. And this, of course, is not only true for the expensive diesel emergency: we are also seeing it in these days: a few weeks ago we have entered a new phase of price hikes, but companies are still waiting for the refreshments of the first quarter of 2022 “.
If the resources are not disbursed immediately, “There is a risk of nullifying the measure itself – adds the Secretary General, Claudio Donati. – In fact, companies in the sector would have to face not only this delay, but also the non-reimbursement of excise duties in August, should the transversal cut implemented by the Government with the Ukraine decree be extended “. The Association also asks to refinance the fund to also support in the second half of the year, the transport companies that pollute less. “The Government – explains Donati – has calculated that the allocation of 500 million would cover the period up to 8 July. However, the price of diesel in recent weeks has exceeded 2 euros per liter, and the current trend does not suggest a slowdown. Furthermore, it must be considered that expensive diesel is also causing financial problems: despite the fact that the full tank of fuel has increased significantly, the banking and financial system shows little availability, or – concludes Donati – applies higher interest charges than only a few days ago “.
