Overseas Network, July 8th

On the 7th local time, French Economic Minister of Economic Minister Bruno Lermel announced that the "fuel discount" measures implemented from April will be gradually canceled. The government plans to issue "low -income workers and long -distance drivers who drive to work from October to issue" Fuel allowance ".

According to the French BFM TV station, Bruno Lermel confirmed in an interview with the European Radio 1 on the 7th that the large -scale assistance of "fuel discount" will be replaced by "more targeted aid". At present, the 18 Euro discounts per liter fuel provided at the gas station will continue until the end of September, and then dropped to 12 euros in October, fell to 6 euros in November, and canceled on December 1. On the other hand, the government plans to provide "fuel allowances" for low -income workers who drive to work. The amount is different from the income level and family composition. It is estimated that this measure will benefit 11 million households.

Bruno Lermel explained that once the "fuel allowance" measures were approved by the National Assembly, this measure may be implemented from October. Those who apply for "fuel allowances" should visit the website of the General Administration of Public Finance and declare that they have a car to go to work parallel to work. The qualified beneficiaries will receive money in the bank account. According to reports, if the distance from the residence to the workplace exceeds 30 kilometers, or drivers who drive more than 12,000 kilometers per year for professional reasons, additional compensation will be received. The goal of this measure is to cover almost all additional fuel costs brought by the rise in oil prices.

According to the data released by the French Ecological Transition Department, the average price of French diesel has been 2.0643 euros per liter in the past week, a 6 Euros of 6 euros in the week. The price of gasoline has also decreased slightly. The average price of SP95 gasoline is 2.023 euros per liter, the average price of SP95-E10 gasoline is 2.0288 euros per liter, and the average price of SP98 gasoline is 2.139 euros per liter. Although the main fuel prices in France continue to decline, it does not significantly reduce the burden on drivers, because the price per liter of fuel is still at a high of more than 2 euros. According to Bruno Lermel, the current cost of 18 Euros per liter of fuel to the country is 800 million euros per month, and the cost of new assistance will be 2 billion euros per year.

Broon Lemer also said in a speech at the National Parliament on the 7th that it is currently undergoing special circumstances of high inflation, but the inflation rate in France is "the lowest in the euro zone, only 5.5%", but this has already produced the French people. It has too much influence, and now it is the peak period of inflation. He emphasized that the country has made a lot of efforts to deal with inflation, and enterprises must share their responsibilities, especially for employees. (Overseas Network-Paris-Lu Jia)
