Bruxelles-ul refuză să taxeze "profiturile excepționale" ale companiilor din energie, așa cum au cerut mai multe state UE

The European Commission has rejected a proposal for a tax on the exceptional profits of energy companies, as reiterated by Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis. This decision follows requests from six member states, including Spain and Germany, who previously sought such a tax after the Ukraine invasion. Dombrovskis emphasized that individual countries are better positioned to implement this tax rather than a unified EU approach. Meanwhile, Italy is considering a national tax on energy company profits, with discussions ongoing between the government and energy firms. The Italian government aims to finance tax cuts for middle-income earners amid rising energy prices and inflation.
