T&E urges EU finance ministers to Help Households T&E urges EU finance ministers to avoid cutting fuel taxes in response to the energy crisis
Dear minister,
As the world looks on in horror at Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe faces its biggest crisis in decades. Fuel prices are skyrocketing. In combination with the extremely high energy prices and inflation, many Europeans are having a hard time. It is crucial that effective measures are taken to target vulnerable groups. It is also crucial to reduce Europe’s reliance on oil by reducing inefficient car use and accelerating e-mobility.
1. Ensure there is EU-wide coordination of measures taken across the member states and their duration. This should be done via a Commission guidance as was done for car scrappage schemes in 2008/9. Fragmented actions risk creating race to the bottom. Reduction in excise duties in one country will lead to its neighbours driving to refuel en masse across the border, as is seen in Hungary.
