SVP expects to take extreme values

The SVP calculates once more, what is the implementation of an environmental policy template the population. She has done this last year, in the case of the energy strategy 2050, whip out your calculator now for the CO2-law the Instrument for the implementation of the Paris climate agreement. 1400 francs per year, warns the party, had to pay a four-headed household in the future should the CO2 law for the period 2021 to 2030, as it had adopted the national Council's environmental Commission.

The SVP-General Secretariat, giving a breakdown on request, as the party comes to this "conservative" amount. In the case of fuels, such as Oil and Gas, the party estimated the expected maximum impact of the CO2-emission of 120 to 210 Swiss francs per Tonne, the equivalent of an increase of 27.5 cents per Liter. In the case of an annual consumption of 3000 litres, the party accepts, the result is the 825 francs.

the planned increase in the price of petrol and Diesel by 8 cents per litre, which has approved the national Council yesterday. The SVP is a consumption of 1600 litres of fuel per year, which would more editions of 128 Swiss francs. Finally, the SVP expects with more expensive consumer goods, because of higher climate taxes would drive up the price for the production. Cost: plus 456 francs. Makes below the line, mentioned around 1400 francs.

The SVP bill provoked opposition in the Federal administration. "The SVP has taken extreme values," says Andrea Burkhardt, Head of the Department climate in the Federal office for the environment (FOEN). The value of 3000 liters, according to the FOEN only for those old houses as a representative of the pre-1990 and never refurbished built and with Oil be heated have been – that is, 45 percent of the building Park.

money will be partly refunded

no Mention of the SVP is also In the case of the CO2 tax on fuel is an incentive fee, which is distributed largely to the population and companies. Thrifty are rewarded, because you get more money back than you of the charges to be paid. Wasters pay more. This incentive should help to reduce the consumption of Oil and Gas.

Currently, the refund amounts to an average of 77 Swiss francs per Person, resulting in a four-person household approximately 300 Swiss francs. This amount will increase in the future because of the planned increase in the CO2 tax, more money for the return distribution. This is all the more so, as the population and the companies so far, only two-thirds of the revenue from the CO2 levy will be refunded. A third goes to the building program that the Federal government supports energy saving renovations. However, this part of the purpose of binding is to be eliminated according to the plans of the Federal Council's 2025, so that the incentive fee cost apart from the administration – in the future, to the full extent of the population and companies will flow.

cost As the SVP on the increased Consumption comes up, can't understand FOEN expert Burkhardt. And in the case of the fuels you put in perspective: A car in Switzerland today consumes an average of 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres. Makes for an average of 13'400 driving miles per year 777 liters. The litre price will rise to 8 cents, it is below the line 62 Swiss francs more expensive; this is only half as much as in the SVP.

SVP keeps on display

Comes to this: unlike in the case of the fuels, the fuels are not subject to an incentive fee that rewards frugal behavior. So far, all political Attempts to change this have failed – among other things, on the resistance of the SVP.

The SVP sees no reason to correct their appearance, because "such calculations are always based on assumptions and it is mixed bills". Already in its fight against the energy strategy 2050, the they lost at the ballot box, insisted on their Pay. At that time, the party projected annual costs 3200 Swiss francs for the budget; the Federal language of 40 francs. The difference is explained thus: The SVP mixed the first package of measures, which came to a vote, with the second, which had not dealt with the councils at that time even and later sunk.
