  • L’IRU avertit que la crise du diesel n’est pas résolue
    La crise provoquée par la hausse du diesel n’est pas résolue, malgré les concessions faites par certains Etats-membres, car il n’y a toujours pas d’harmonisation des taxes et donc encore une distorsion de la concurrence. En outre, cinq des quinze pays n’ont pas pris de mesures, dont l’Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni. Or, c’est justement dans ce dernier que les taxes sont les plus élevées. “On peut dès lors craindre une escalade dans ce pays”, a déclaré mardi Sören Rasmussen, délégué général ad interim de l’IRU auprès de l’UE à Bruxelles, lors d’une conférence de presse.

Pour l’instant, chacun d’eux poursuit l’examen des comptes des entreprises concernées, ceci après visite des lieux.

C’est pourquoi Stena AB, la société-mère de Stena Line, va intervenir financièrement via une émission d’actions qui devra rapporter 1,5 mia. de SEK et lance en même temps une offre sur les actions émises.
