Fuel policy explained

Serge Papin, the minister for SMEs, Trade, and Purchasing Power, discussed the unblocking of strategic fuel stocks and the expected drop in diesel prices during an interrogation in the "4V" on Monday, October 12. He outlined how the policy would affect rural fuel stations specifically.

Rural fuel stations addressed

Papin emphasized that the unblocking of fuel stocks would help ease supply issues in rural areas, where fuel stations often face greater challenges in maintaining consistent supplies compared to urban centers.

Meal voucher cap defended

The minister also defended the maintenance of the daily cap of 25 euros for meal vouchers, stating that this measure helps ensure affordability for workers across various sectors.

Support for Sunday use

Papin expressed support for the use of meal vouchers on Sundays, a move aimed at supporting workers who may have shifts on weekends and need access to food during those times.
