The President of the Republic has enacted legislation creating exceptional and temporary support to address rising fuel prices following the war in the Middle East, according to a statement released on Monday, March 30. The government decree establishes compensation for the surge in fuel costs caused by the Middle East conflict, benefiting passenger and freight transport operators, social sector entities, humanitarian fire brigades, and the agricultural, forestry, fishing, and aquaculture sectors. The government approved these measures, costing approximately 150 million euros per month, during Friday's Council of Ministers meeting. In addition to maintaining the ISP tax discount in effect since March 9, new support measures will apply from April 1 to June 30, including aid for professional diesel used in freight transport, extraordinary support for the agricultural and fishing sectors, assistance for fire brigades and taxi companies, and a one-off payment to private social solidarity institutions. Meanwhile, the average price of petrol has fallen, while diesel remains above two euros.
