The launch of new interventions to counter the much-awaited fuel and energy price increases should see the light today. The government is working to find a solution. And the possible cut of 15-20 cents on fuel prices under study by the government is judged insufficient by Federconsumatori, which instead suggests a cut of at least double.
“In our opinion – affirms the association – there is room to do more, for a double cut, of at least 30 cents per liter, with a saving of about 360 euros per year per motorist (single or family that consumes 100 liters of fuel per month, equal to about 2 fulls of petrol) “.
Furthermore, underlines Federconsumatori, it is essential to implement every effort to counteract the speculations in progress. The opening of an investigation by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome was enough to determine, already in the night, a slight downward adjustment of some price lists. Today, the Antitrust Authority, with the help of the Guardia di Finanza, has launched in-depth investigations into the dynamics of pricing by oil companies, for “a possible violation of the rules on abuse of dominant position or restrictive agreements of the competition “.
