The Minister of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment of the Basque Government, Arantxa Tapiahas criticized the initiative of the Vice-President of the Spanish Government, Yolanda Diazto try to make the shopping cart cheaper and asked to act with “watch out“, to protect the interests of producers and the first sector. “No agreement can be reached on prices below the cost of production,” he warned.
In an interview assigned to the Euskadi Irratia program “Faktoria”, Tapia assured that “many things” had to be taken into account in this regard and mentioned that in the case of Euskadi there is a mechanism that Behatokia, which analyzes the prices of the different production links. “Everyone has their costs and prices. According to the law of the food chain you cannot sell below the cost of production. You have to be careful about agreeing prices because we would go against free competition, and you also have to be careful with our baserritarras and ranchers. We will continue with ours and work with the first sector,” he added. According to Tapia, the producers “cannot be the pagans” of this inflationary crisis.
In this regard, it has been found that this afternoon they meet representatives of the first sector. In principle, they collect their contributions to the energy emergency plan, but they also talk about prices and the consequences of the drought.
Regarding the energy crisis, Tapia assured that the Basque government is committed to energy efficiency and: renewable. With regard to the latter, he recalls that Europe has determined that wind turbines must generate 500 gigawatts by 2030. Therefore, the consultant argues, “we must act responsibly and accelerate the projects.”
He also mentioned that aid is being provided for the installation of Photovoltaic panels and that, if “many projects” are received, the items will increase and encourage the creation of energy communities.
On the consequences of the war in Ukraine in the gas stock this winter, Tapia explained that the Basque Country has “enough gas” for the coming months, as it has the necessary infrastructure to receive and use it, although he admitted that “the situation is very volatile and it cannot be allowed It can be said that it is 100% insured all winter. We have to use as little as possible, and carefully and with a good head.”
