In brief
Pump subsidies of 20 cents per litre for heating oil, 15 cents for diesel and 10 cents for unleaded petrol stay at the first-half level until 30 November.
Refiners add 20 cents per litre on heating oil and 5 cents on diesel, bringing total relief to 40, 20 and 10 cents per litre respectively.
The fiscal cost of extending the subsidies for the second half of November is estimated at 35 million euros.
Extension to 30 November
The finance and energy ministries announced that state subsidies on pump prices and the discounts offered by refineries will continue until 30 November. The decision covers the second half of November, from 16 to 30 November, and keeps the aid at the same level as in the first fifteen days of the month. The government cited continued pressure on international fuel prices and uncertainty over how long the recent easing will last.
Pump-price relief per litre
The state subsidy at the pump is 20 cents per litre for heating oil, 15 cents for diesel and 10 cents for unleaded 95-octane petrol. Refineries add a further 20 cents per litre on heating oil and 5 cents on diesel. Combined, relief reaches 40 cents per litre for heating oil, 20 cents for diesel and 10 cents for petrol. An illustrative calculation puts the saving at 400 euros on an order of 1,000 litres of heating oil, compared with the price without these measures.
