Dl Bollette in Cdm: FI "aim to reduce them by 50%"; M5s, "no concrete measures"

Today arrives in CDMBill decree. Yesterday evening the Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani, in confirming this to the journalists who stopped him in the Senate, underlined: “Lowering theenergy coststo citizens and businesses is one for meprioritybecause thecompetitivenessof our industrial system is linked toexcessive cost of bills“.

Previously, the spokesman for Forza Italia, Raffaele Nevi, speaking to Aria Che Tira on La7, had explained: “The objective of the decree is toreduce the bill by around 50% for low ISEEswhile for businesses we want to arrive at alowering bills by 20%thus aligning ourselves withEuropean average“. “If in Italy bills are expensive it is because – the blue MP pointed out – in the past we put our heads in the sand basking on our laurels, but we don’t really know what laurels they were. As a government – he then recalled – we have already given 200 euros to familieswhich will become 300, especially the groups most in difficulty”.

The opposition criticizes: confusion and delays

The opposition instead speaks of “draft provision from which it emergesconfusion and worry“. Emma Pavanelli and Enrico Cappelletti, deputiesM5sin the Productive Activities commission of Montecitorio, they underline that the decree arrives in the CDM after “months of announcements” and after “two years in which Italians pay their bills dearly”. “If theMeloni governmentthink of solving the problem in this way – we read in a note from the Five Star Movement – we are not on the right track. It seems we are far fromserious solutions for citizens and businessescrushed byunsustainable billsfor too long. Not to mention – they observe – how the theme of thesystem chargeswhich greatly worries associations such asConfartigianatoor the operation concerning the ETS”.

M5s speaks of “insufficient measures and absence of structural reforms”

In the draft legislative decree, the parliamentarians deplore, there are “as usual, more question marks than solutions”. In particular, Pavanelli and Cappelletti attack, the provision “for now is trailing a trail oftemporary benefits, insufficient measuresabsence ofstructural interventionsand does not look to the future. In practice, what should not be expected from a serious executive, but Italy, unfortunately, finds itself having to deal with those who act late and when the emergency has already erupted”. The draft then, they add, does not contain “concrete measures that could really intervene on theexpensive energycome il price decouplingof the electricity produced byrenewable sourcesfrom those of gas, thetaxation of extra energy profitsthe implementation of the sui reformzonal priceswhich we had proposed together with other points even before the bills started to increase. But imagine if the government had time to think, or to listen to experts and trade associations“, conclude the two M5s exponents.

On the draft ofBill decreeand the possible exemption of some companies from paying duessystem You are Europeanalso comes the cautious position ofEuropean Union. “We would like to first examine the law when it goes through the national process in Italy. Then, of course, we will evaluate its compatibility”, the spokesperson of theEuropean Energy CommissionAnna-Kaisa Itkonen, nel briefing quotidiano con la stampa.
