Fuel prices, Meloni: “The variable excise duty mechanism remains in force”

Rome, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – “Alongside utility bills, we are continuing to work on the cost of fuel. So far, we have allocated two and a half billion euros to keep prices in check, focusing our efforts on diesel. Because diesel powers lorries, transport and many productive activities. And its cost is reflected in the prices of the goods we buy every day.” This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. “The cap on pump prices adopted by most oil companies is now in force. The mechanism for variable excise duties remains in place, and we will reactivate it whenever price trends require it,” concluded the Prime Minister.
