SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 7 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The spokesman for the Government of the Canary Islands, Julio Pérez, hopes that “soon” the impact of the discount of 20 cents per liter of fuel approved by the central Executive will be seen, although he has recognized that the oil market is “unique”.
In the press conference to account for the agreements of the Governing Council, he indicated that his Executive is paying special “attention” to the evolution of prices in the ‘green islands’ –La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma– where the cost of fuel “is excessive” and not only because of the current situation but also because of deficiencies in the operation of the competition.
Pérez has remarked that the Government is in favor of applying “surgical measures” for sectors “particularly damaged” by the rise in prices, such as vulnerable families, ranchers or transporters, and has rejected “generalized measures” because they may end up not benefiting those who they need it more.
