TransportationLuxembourg Consumer Association demands carbon tax be delayed

RTL Today
The Luxembourg Consumer Association (ULC) has issued a press release in which it reacts to the recent announcement of the 2022 fuel tax.

In its statement, the ULC states that Luxembourg’s fuel prices have experienced the greatest increase across all of Europe (+31%).

The price index for consumers has meanwhile risen more than it ever has done over the past ten years (+3.62%).

As part of the government’s climate plan, a CO2 tax is to be implemented on 1 January 2022. But the ULC believes this tax is not the correct way forward due to the “insufferable” situation.
