But taxing the motorway companies may be complicated ” because of the strength of contracts concession signed by these groups , “warned Washington yesterday the finance minister Michel Sapin. “ Extremely favorable contracts, extremely well made, they provide that if there is a tax increase there must be compensation. And compensation is increased toll. Did this is a good solution, including trucks, I do not know for sure “.

Then there was this gas plant Ecomouv ‘that has been mounted. There great irresponsibility on the part of carriers. They must understand that a truck uses more transport infrastructure and therefore it is necessary that it is not based simply on the French taxpayer “.
Bruno Le Roux, who is preparing a report to avoid the disappearance of the “ French flag ” in transportation, environmental tax file was not closed. It should be “overhauled again and everyone must take responsibility. Parliament and the carriers will also” . “There will be a majority in the National Assembly, hopefully with the Greens. On the issue of the environmental tax, nothing is left ,” Has he concluded, with many optimistic. For
Cécile Duflot has not floated any doubt on this point: “ Vote a budget that is absolutely not able to improve the situation of our country, I do not see how it ‘ is possible (…) it makes no sense “, she has said this morning on RTL.
