La Comisión Europea ha recibido ya el informe del Comité Económico y Social
europeo, en el que se asegura que
se debe enviar una "señal de precios fuerte" para imponer un cambio de
mentalidades y comportamientos.
El Comité recomienda que se grave la mayor parte
de los tipos de energía de manera uniforme en función de su emisión de CO2 y
destaca que la electricidad no está sometida al mismo tratamiento que las demás
energías.
Así, en esta revisión de la Directiva de la
Imposición de la Energía se introduce dos factores de imposición para cada
carburante o combustible. De un lado, la imposición ligada a la emisión de CO2
y, por otro, la imposición ligada al contenido energético.
Con este premisa, el impuesto sobre el CO2 es
idéntico para los carburantes y combustibles y ascenderá a 20 euros por
tonelada, es decir a 0,053 euros por litro para todos los gasóleos (ya sean de
calefacción o no).
Sin embargo, el Comité Económico y Social Europeo
se queja de que el impuesto general energético para los carburantes sea de 9,6
euros por gigajulio, es decir 0,316 euros por litro de gasóleo, y tan sólo de
0,15 euros por gigajulio para los combustibles, es decir 0,0054 euros por litro
de gasóleo de calefacción.
Por ello, el Comité Económico y Social Europeo
solicita que "aumente gradualmente esta tasa para que sea perceptible para los
consumidores", con el fin de reducir el consumo de combustibles y justificar las
inversiones de agentes económicos en la innovación energética para el hábitat y
las necesidades industriales.

The European Parliament will consider the April 18 amendments to the directive of energy taxation. The proposal, tabled as early as 2009, will oblige Member States to raise taxes on energy products.
The European Commission has already received the report of the Economic and Social Committee, which makes sure to send a "strongprice signal" to impose a change of attitudes and behaviors.
The Committee recommends the most serious types of energy in a uniform manner based on their CO2 emissions and points out that electricity is notsubject to the same treatment as other energies.
Thus, in this revision of the directive of energy taxation is taxationintroduces two factors for each fuel or fuel. On the one hand, the impositionlinked to CO2 emissions and, secondly, the imposition linked to energy content.
With this premise, the CO2 tax is identical for motor fuels and amount to20 euros per tonne, to 0.053 euros per liter for all gas (either heating ornot).
However, the European Economic and Social Committee complains thatthe general tax for the fuel energy is of 9.6 euros per gigajoule, ie 0.316euros per liter of diesel, and only 0.15 euros per gigajoule for fuels, ie 0.0054 euros per liter of heating oil.
Therefore, the European Economic and Social Committee requests that "gradually increase this rate to be perceptible to consumers," in order toreduce fuel consumption and justify the economic investment in energy innovation for the home and industrial needs.
