The Cyprus Consumers Association calls for the immediate withdrawal of the provision for additional taxation on fuel from a bill submitted to the Parliament.
In its statement, the Association refers to "rapid increases in fuel prices", noting that for the first three months of 2022, retail fuel prices increased on average by 15 cents a litre for 95 petrol, 30 cents for diesel and 32 cents for heating oil.
In addition, it reports that the Ministry of Energy, in a bill submitted and now being discussed in the Parliamentary Energy Committee, proposes to impose an additional tax on fuel as a fee for Renewable Energy Sources (RES).
