"The Lulling report, aimed at revising the 2003 directive on energy taxation, justifies the proposed taxation of energy products with the need to meet the objectives of the European energy and industrial policies. However, the direct effects of the measures planned in the report entail an increase in fuel prices, which will have direct fiscal repercussions on the final consumer. I am opposed to a report which exposes the citizens to disproportionate charges. I am opposed to a sudden change which penalises fuel consumers without giving them either the time or the resources to adapt. Whilst it is of the utmost importance to reduce pollution and CO I believe that the Lulling report is punitive as, by increasing the taxation on energy products, it merely aggravates the economic difficulties of the citizens who are most affected by the crisis that we are currently experiencing. The fight against climate change must be introduced without the most vulnerable having to pay the highest price."@en1
