"− I voted against this because although an increase in energy prices encourages energy efficiency, at the end of the day the negative consequences of the increase in energy prices outweigh any positive effects. Moreover, the latest scientific achievements in Europe indicate that CO emissions can be reduced in part by increased use of diesel engines. The European Commission’s inconsistency is surprising in that it denounces automatic wage indexation where it still applies, but deploys the same arguments to advocate automatic indexation of energy taxes. The negative consequences for households and business would be far greater than the anticipated positive consequences. Revenue collection by taxing energy reduces people’s income."@en1
