Energiepreise: Italien: Konzerne halten Spritpreis trotz Rabatt-Ende stabil
Reizthema Spritpreis: Während in Deutschland gerade ein neuer Tankrabatt in Kraft getreten ist, läuft er in Italien aus. Trotzdem bleiben die Preise teils stabil. Wie das möglich ist.
In Italy, energy companies plan to maintain their price ceilings despite the end of government discounts on diesel. Eni, an Italian energy company, has set a maximum price of 2.19 euros per liter for diesel and 1.99 euros for gasoline at its gas stations. This price ceiling is valid for 30 days starting from September 28th and could be extended until the end of the year.
Q8 and Tamoil, following Eni's lead, also intend to keep the price ceiling in place this month. Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni thanked the companies in response to their announcement. The Italian government ended the current exemption for diesel prices of 6.1 cents per liter on Monday. Instead, a system of mobile consumption taxes is to be introduced, where additional revenues from fuel taxation will be used to provide relief.
The high fuel prices particularly affect farmers. In Calabria, farmers protested against high fuel costs, blocking fuel tank trucks at a depot in Vibo Marina. On the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, fishermen demonstrated against the high diesel prices, with fishing boats remaining in port and protest banners hanging at the quayside.
