Fiscal marking of gas oils

Adopting the report by Mr GASOLIBA I BOHM (LDR, E), the European Parliament approved the harmonisation of excise rates on mineral oils. The rates on diesel vary, depending on its final use. The minimum rates which the Member States must comply with are as follows: diesel used as fuel: ECU 245 per 1,000 litres, industrial diesel: ECU 18 per 1,000 litres, domestic fuel: ECU 18 per 1,000 litres. As regards the committee appointed to assist the Commission, Parliament called for an advisory committee rather than the regulatory committee proposed by the Commission.�
