Suddenly, it’s here: the Chance to bring as old as it is controversial claim to make the breakthrough. “I expect that the FDP supports a CO2 tax on fuels,” says Jürg Grossen, President of the green liberal. At the advice of the CO2 act, in December, a mid-tried-to-left Alliance, the incentive tax, which the Federal government already collects on fuel, on fuel to expand. This is against the Background that the transport sector emits today, 1 percent more emissions than in 1990, and consequently, the climate target for 2020 of minus 10 percent as compared to 1990 – probably miss it. The attempt failed, however, to the resistance of the SVP, FDP and CVP.
Now, however, quite possibly the FDP, the center could help-left Alliance, to make the concerns in the Parliament supported by a majority. Trigger a pulse of the FDP-based. After a very party President Petra Gössi in February for an adjustment of the free-thinking climate policy, launched the FDP in a survey among its 120’000 members and supporters; around 14’000 participated. The result is, since yesterday, Sunday, with 58 percent salute a steering levy on fuels; a little more than 8,000 responses were received to this question.
“Obviously, the trend is still like a Log just to lay in the FDP in the current Hype around climate change.” Andreas Burgener, Director of Auto-Switzerland
is not Whether the FDP delegates welcome the introduction of such a levy, and the claim is part of the FDP programme, although still not sure; the decision is on the 22. June to fall. In circles, where the FDP is close to traditional, but the result of the survey Irritation. He was surprised, says Andreas Burgener, Director of Auto-Schweiz, the Association of Swiss car importers. “Obviously, the trend is still like a Log just to lay in the FDP in the current Hype around climate change.”
Today, the fixed charges increase the price of mineral oil tax mineral oil tax surcharge and the import taxes on petrol and Diesel by about 85 cents per litre, which accounts for about half the price. “With a new tax, motorists would be burdened even more,” says Burgener. Roland Bilang, managing Director of the petroleum Association, says it this way: “You can’t milk the cow and at the same time battles.”

numbers on it but There is a difference between the fixed charges as they exist today, and an incentive fee. The latter would be refundable, so the idea, again, of the population. Financially would be rewarded so, who have comparatively little, or even no car, on top of that, a lot of drivers, car commuters about having to pay.
The opponents of such a levy to warn of this adverse social effects. The steering is actually relevant to the climate, leading to less fuel consumption must be very high; the talk is of up to 1 Swiss franc per litre. At the same time they should not be allowed to discriminate against the middle class, families, and the edge regions. to connect
the two elements, is almost something like the quadrature of the circle, said national councillor Stefan Müller-Altermatt (CVP) in 2015, as the Federal Council presented its plans for a – later, failed power-steering system. Müller-Altermatt thinks the same today as it was then. The CVP had always been against a steering levy on fuels. “This is primarily for the conservation of those circuits, which are simply dependent on motorised individual transport, for example, the people in the peripheral and mountain regions.”
opponent hope to have a vignette effect
Kurt Lanz of Economiesuisse says: “Outside of the large centres and in the peripheral regions of the people will be dependent in the future on the car.” The umbrella organisation of the economy is convinced that a CO2 tax on fuels raises the price of only driving the car, but “almost nothing” for the climate bring it about. A larger effect would have already been blowing existing instruments, such as the increasingly stringent CO2 regulations for new cars and the CO2 compensation obligation for importers of fossil fuels. “These measures are to be preferred, therefore, from the point of view of the economy,” says Lanz.
The Board of Directors of Economiesuisse way sitting spicy even FDP parliamentarians, such as national councillor Isabelle Moret. You want to to the subject before the Assembly of delegates from the 22. June does not speak, as she makes clear. Councillor Martin Schmid and the national Council Marcel Dobler did not respond to a request.
Should be acceptable to the steering output in fact, a majority of the Parliament, and hope the opponents to the population. The voting public, so give yourself a victory, certainly, will reject it in a referendum vote, a strong increase in the price of fuel. Auto-Schweiz-Director Burgener refers to the highway vignette. In 2013, the people rejected the proposed increase from 40 to 100 Swiss francs. With over 60 per cent no-votes, the verdict was surprisingly clear.
