Francia pide a Bruselas que flexibilice las normas de calidad de los carburantes por la crisis de Oriente Próximo
Macron reclama a Von der Leyen medidas para hacer frente a los problemas de suministro de hidrocarburos por el cierre de Ormuz pero sin mencionar las bajadas de impuestos
France is urging Brussels to relax fuel quality standards due to the crisis in the Middle East, according to a report. President Emmanuel Macron has requested the European Commission to temporarily ease fuel quality rules in order to boost production, increase supply and curb rising prices. In a letter to European Executive head Ursula von der Leyen, Macron warns that the situation in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, which has been almost completely blocked since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran in February, could jeopardize European supply.
The Eliseo chief, facing serious domestic problems due to social discontent over rising prices, also proposes to relax the limits of biofuel blends and postpone the entry into force of the regulation on methane emission measurement and notification linked to gas and oil production.
