The Ministry of economy shall establish, before the end of the year in course, professional diesel fuel on the basis of the commitments agreed upon between the Administration and the agricultural organisations COAG and UPA four years ago. Agreements represent, for formal purposes, the creation of a purchase card and automatic return of the special tax on hydrocarbons (0,079 euros per liter) at the time of purchase. This repayment, which now reverts to the farmer for expired years, occurs on the basis that the prices of diesel fuel in the field have been higher than the average for the reference periods. Currently, the prices are lower and on the basis of this commitment would not be right to the return. "For the future, with the establishment of professional diesel" - said the head of the technical services of UPA, Javier Alejandre-, "the return is done always apart from existing on the market of fuel prices, which already means a battle won".
