GOVERNMENT'S unwillingness to
stand up to the proposed European-wide
taxation on energy will have repercus-
sions on industries and consumers, Na-
tionalist MEP candidate Peter Agius said.
"is is unacceptable as it sets Malta at
a further competitive disadvantage when
compared to mainland Europe. Maltese
consumers would face even higher in-
flation due to increased transport costs
while manufacturing jobs will come
under more pressure from competition
inside the EU itself as well as outside,"
Agius said.
e directive proposed by the Euro-
pean Commission deals with various
aspects and not just aviation fuel. e
proposal is to introduce a progressive tax
on aviation fuel supplied in the EU for in-
tra-EU flights.
