Question 13582 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Thierry Frappé draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the rapid increase in fuel prices observed since the start of the conflict in the Middle East. According to the Minister's statements, fuel prices increased in one week by 5 to 15 cents per liter for SP95 and by 15 to 20 cents for diesel. This development appears all the more more marked than the Government spokesperson had initially indicated that the consequences of the conflict on pump prices would result in an increase of only a few cents. At the same time, several players in the sector emphasize that taxes represent between 50 and 55% of the final price paid by motorists, in particular VAT and excise on petroleum products. Despite this situation, the The government has indicated that it is not considering reducing these taxes, estimating that such a measure would represent a loss of around 20 billion euros for public finances. In this context of international tensions likely to lead to a further increase in prices at the pump and directly affect the purchasing power of the French, he asks him to specify the measures that the Government intends to implement to limit the impact of these increases on households, and whether it envisages, in the event of a continuation of this surge in prices, a temporary adjustment of the taxation applicable to fuels.
