Because the tax burden for motorists in the Netherlands are not high enough, the state Secretary Mansveld (Environment) to advice for further increase of the excise duty on petrol and diesel.

The idea behind this is an increase in taxation for conventional fuels to excise duties on biofuels to reduce, because they are sacred after all… It seems to us to be of little realism, witnesses, and basically just completely plastered at this time with such a plan.

The responses are also not of the air. The TOYOTA, which last week a game of arm-wrestle of French mr weekers won, screaming murder and fire, and Geert Wilders seized the opportunity to Mark Rutte again to taunt via Twitter with both hands.

We ask ourselves what to do with the opinion is done, but the option ‘trash’, seems real. In particular, the can, the border would be affected. Yesterday appeared the message that the can there of the government a ton of free money, ‘to the blows of the excise tax increase on fuel and tobacco to catch.’

As of 1 January 2014 is also already a tax increase.

Update: As expected, remains on this plan at a proefballonnetje. Stas mr weekers did this today to the Second Chamber to know, and whistled and passers-by Wilma Mansveld back, who had ventured on his policy to go. A storm in a glass of water.
