Question 14250 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Carrière alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the urgent situation of the surge in fuel prices. As a result of the war waged by the United States of America in Iran, fuel and energy prices have skyrocketed, putting millions of people in the country in difficulty. In just a few weeks, the price of a barrel of oil has increased by nearly 50%. while the price of gas has doubled. Likewise, the price of maritime diesel has increased from around 0.62 euros per liter to more than 0.82 euros, or even up to 1 euro in certain ports, an increase that can exceed 40% depending on the supply zones. Such a development is difficult to sustain for the fishing and shellfish farming sectors in particular, whose activity depends directly on the use of fuel for operations. at sea and land transport. Beyond producers, the entire value chain (shippers, processors, transporters, distributors) is exposed to a domino effect, with a real risk of reduction in activity, or even cessation for certain companies and direct consequences on employment and the economic vitality of coastal areas. The MP was also questioned by the organizations professionals of public works and landscaping craftsmen, which highlight a very serious situation for small businesses, which operate on markets with fixed and non-revisable prices. They could be forced to stop their activity if the Government does not quickly take strong measures. It is not certain that the announced ceasefire will be enough to resolve this crisis and these episodes risk multiplying. In this context, he asks him if he intends to finally apply a freeze on fuel prices at the level at which they were before the war. He also asks him if he intends to specifically support small and medium-sized French businesses, by providing socially and ecologically conditioned public aid.
