The increase of two cents per liter of diesel prices raised insistently by the press, is one of the hypotheses proposed to finance transport infrastructure , confirmed Friday, September 26 the Secretary of State for the Budget Christian Eckert .
“You can not call for new highways, new rail infrastructure without that we find in front of the new funding and among the funding, (…) One hypothesis is actually an increase of two cents per liter of diesel, “said Christian Eckert South Radio.
This could bridge the shortfall arising from the ecological tax reform, which must be replaced by a toll transit trucks.
The cause: the weak product of the environmental tax
“There has been a change in the environmental tax that we have turned into a contribution of a toll transit trucks. The product of this contribution is quite far below what was expected. So it will have to find resources for investment in public transport including roads but not only, “said the Secretary of State for the Budget.
” The fuel tax is already very favorable “said Christian Eckert , adding that” if there are proposals for other or additional funding, all that can change. “
Diesel is the main fuel sold at the pump in France with about 80% of volumes sold by service stations.
