"Under the lofty pretext of pursuing a sustainable energy policy, this directive primarily seeks to impose a higher tax on diesel than on petrol. That may be in the interests of the oil industry, in particular the refineries, which are experiencing problems in connection with the sale of petrol. The proposed price increases, particularly for diesel products, will drive inflation. As 98% of all lorries are powered by diesel engines, the diesel price increases will make the whole logistics chain more expensive and place the economy and consumers under pressure. Most importantly, the millions of Europeans who drive diesel-powered vehicles will be placed under an excessive burden. The directive also sends out the wrong signals with regard to European industrial policy and it contradicts the directives that have been adopted to date aimed at reducing CO
emissions from cars."@en1
