fuel at the heart of concerns in Spain and Belgium

Germany invents a mobility ticket at 9 euros per month. This tram could soon be taken over. From June 1, Germans will be able to use all regional public transport for 9 euros per month throughout the summer. A measure to cushion the rise in energy prices, which appeals to: “It’s good to use the existing public transport, it will allow us to visit the nearby region”. The device is intended to be ecological, it will cost 2.5 billion euros, paid by the federal state.

In Spain, an agreement with Brussels to freeze the price of gas. A gas tariff blocked at 40 per megawatt hour for one year. Half the market price. Brussels accepts this agreement for Spain and Portugal because the electricity of these two countries comes mainly from renewable energies, but which are indexed to the price of gas. “This measure will come into effect immediately and will materialize in consumer bills from May”explains Teresa Ribera, Minister of Ecological Transition.

In Belgium too, energy is a major concern. For these apprentice tilers, even if the offers are numerous, the price of fuel remains their first criterion of choice. The employment agencies note it, if the employers do not put the package on the travel expenses, the offers are not filled.
