"Mr President, this is how to transform a good idea can into a punishment for employees and their families. How can one oppose the idea of reducing emissions of the fatal gas CO
? How can one be against the desire to control energy consumption and the elimination of wastefulness? Why then, in that case, should only the smallest be targeted?
Large sectors such as air transport, sea transport, agriculture and road transport will benefit from exemptions until 2023. Thus, a large transport company will benefit from exemptions while the lorry driver it employs will pay full price. Thus, a large agricultural company will benefit from exemptions while an agricultural employee with a small salary will pay full price. Small people such as these have no alternative, because for years we have shown them that diesel is the least expensive fuel and they are prisoners of their cars because they do not have the means to change.
Therefore, if money needed to be found, I can think of several ways, which I will outline to you briefly. We could have taken it out of the profits of the large oil companies, taken it out of the wastage of public money, taken it out of the profits of the large car companies, and also – why not? – taken it out of the profits of credit agencies which lend money to buy cars."@en1
