Yesterday, on the occasion of a shift in Britain dedicated to the proliferation of algae, the Prime Minister François Fillon said: "the carbon tax, which the modalities of implementation are a debate, will be place in France." We know in the coming weeks proposals in Parliament. "In July, a group of experts led by former Prime Minister Michel Rocard had concluded that the need to implement a climate-energy contribution, considered be the only way to modify the behaviour of consumers and industry by displaying, in the long term, the willingness of the authorities to increase the price of oil. "Over the past 20 years we did knew that stabilizing our emissions carbo-picnic", martelait the report, proposing an additional right seen upstream in addition to the already existing excises on fossil fuels. On receiving the report, Jean Louis Borloo, Minister of ecology, had referred to a presidential arbitration in September.
Green signal
In reducing his vacation to make a move on the theme of the environment, the Prime Minister, who continues to use the term "tax CO", displays the first decision of the Government, with the intention to send a signal strong on the day of the opening of the Green Summer University. Recall that in January 2002, the Jospin Government had waived create a general tax on polluting activities (TGAP energy) of 7 cents on oil. But seven months before the Regio - criminal, François Fillon did not not more when and at what level the tax shall be fixed. Yesterday, government source, some evoked the principle of a registration to the 2010 Finance Bill. Of the date of entry into force, "did we not at this stage of reflection", claimed. "The taxation of CO2 emissions linked to energy consumption is not complicated to set up." "This is not the business tax reform," it added. Some envision an oe work after the regional implementation, taking example on the Bill of finance 2006 who announced the reform on the taxation of income, a measure applied in 2007. Such a scenario would have the merit, for the majority, to send a green signal before March 2010 regional, while deferring the removal of this new tax.
Significant disparities
The debate continues on the price of carbon. The Rocard report proposes 32 euros per tonne of CO emitted the first year. This corresponds to an increase of 7 to 8 cents per litre of gasoline. Bercy has indicated that this price is too high. Yesterday, in an interview to the "world", the MEP Vincent Peillon considered as "ineffective environmentally, socially unjust and stupid economically the idea of taxing households for exempting more the entre-prises".He sought a full redistribution to households of the proceeds of this tax. In July, Jean-Louis Borloo strongly supported the creation of a "green check" distributed to the French, while the Rocard report argued to reserve this priority aid to rural households, to those who live away from their work and workers on staggered schedules. If, at 32 euros per tonne, the French should pay 160 euros on average per year and per household, studies have shown significant disparities: 55 euros for a small household in the city and up to 300 euros for a wealthy family in the countryside with individual heating. The coming weeks will be much warmer. And not only because of the heat wave.
