Question 14066 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Florquin draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the continued rise in fuel prices and in particular to the crossing of the symbolic threshold of two euros per liter for SP95-E10 in France, recently noted and relayed by the national press. This increase occurs in a context of strong pressure on the purchasing power of French, in particular for households dependent on their vehicle for their daily travel, as well as for many professionals. It contributes to aggravating the economic difficulties of millions of French people, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas. This situation also highlights the very high level of taxation on fuel, which constitutes a majority of the price at the pump. As you measure As prices increase, State tax revenue increases mechanically, which raises the question of the existence of additional revenue linked to this increase, collected without an explicit decision by the legislator. In this context, many French people have the feeling that the State benefits indirectly from this price increase, without significant measures being taken to mitigate the effects on their purchasing power. This perception fuels a growing incomprehension of a situation deemed unfair. Furthermore, energy transition policies, by gradually increasing the cost of fossil fuels, accentuate this pressure without always offering alternatives accessible in the short term for all users. Faced with this worrying situation, he asks him to specify the amount of additional revenue collected by the State due to the recent rise in fuel prices and to indicate the concrete measures it intends to implement, particularly in terms of taxation, in order to return these revenues to the French and preserve their purchasing power.
