Sardinia, President Todde: ‘60 million to support businesses and tackle rising fuel prices’

Sixty million euros to counter the effects of high fuel prices. This is the sum that the Region of Sardinia has allocated in the latest budget amendment to support the sectors most affected.  

The measure is explained by the President of the Region, Alessandra Todde, in a video message. 

“High fuel prices aren’t just a burden when we fill up our tanks. They weigh heavily on those who produce and work every day, on our farms, on those who transport goods and on those who buy them,” emphasises the President of the Region. “On an island like Sardinia, where transport and connections are essential, every price rise has even more severe consequences. That is why we have decided to take action. In the latest budget amendment, we have allocated 60 million euros to counter the effects of high fuel prices.”

Of the total, the president emphasises, “50 million has been allocated to support the most vulnerable sectors, from road haulage to the maritime sector, including agriculture, to which we have allocated 25 million, whilst the remaining funds will support sectors such as road haulage and the maritime sector’.

Funding of 10 million euros is also earmarked for companies operating in the stone industry, which, like the agri-food sector, have long been forced to contend with the effects of high fuel prices.
