The deputies gave their approval to set up an ecotax targeting heavy goods vehicles in the regions that wish.
The ecotax is well back.This Sunday, during the examination in committee of the climate bill, the deputies gave their green light to the creation of a "contribution" targeting heavy goods vehicles in the regions which wish.
A decision that could give fire to powders in the world of road transport, which already sees it as a threat to business survival.We remember the fiasco of the first attempt to set up an ecotax, buried in 2014 after the crisis of "red caps" born in Brittany, with a final note of more than a billion euros for the State.
Article 32 of the Climate Bill therefore wants to allow voluntary regions which have a public road area to establish a "specific contribution sitting on the road transport of goods".The goal is to push carriers to use less emitting greenhouse gas, such as the train or the boat.
By trying to put this tax on the front of the stage, is the government unconscious?For Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, Minister Delegate for Transport, "this is a request from certain regions today, in a logic of differentiation".The new European community of Alsace, born on January 1, 2021, would be particularly interested in the system, in order to fight against the influx of heavy goods vehicles on the A35.
Some elected officials are already worried about the disparities between the regions and the transfer of traffic between them.In Lorraine, we are thus afraid that heavy goods vehicles avoid the A35 and fall back on the A31, already busy.If on the side of the New Aquitaine and Burgundy-Franche-Comté, we are rather favorable, in Brittany, it's already clear.
