Counsel has defended a social bond against a ceiling that affects producers. He proposes to take the measures “in a different way” so that in the primary sector they are not “the pagans of this situation”.
The Minister of Economic Development, Environment and Sustainability of the Basque Government, Arantxa Tapiaconsidered that if there is a social tie to energy poverty “maybe a social bond for those people who have the worst time is the measure to be taken”, against the intention of limiting prices so that this situation does not affect the producers and “does not take away part of the farms that we have in the Basque Country”.
The advisor met this Monday with representatives of the agricultural unions and the fishing industry to analyze the current situation in the sector. During the meeting, the most important measures were included in the Euskadi Energy Emergency Plan and how to transfer it to the food sector. It has also been analyzed limit on resources and the impact the measure may have on farms in the Basque Country.
After the meeting, Tapia stressed that the problems facing the industrial sector in the current situation are also being experienced by the agricultural and livestock sector. Thus he remembered that “the price of energy is the same for everyone and they also need energy for their farms, they need diesel.”
As for the idea of cap prices so that “end consumers, especially those who have the worst time, are not the pagans of this situation”, Tapia has considered that “it can be done in another way” and has defended that “under no circumstances” the producers “are the pagans of this situation “.
“We are very concerned that when prices collide, at some point the last in the chain is the weakest and they our producers“, warned.
For this reason, he pointed out that, if there is any social link to energy poverty, “maybe a… social bond for those people who have the worst time is the measure to be taken”.
