They receive complaint a fiscal discrimination to the industries cogeneradoras

The industries that have invested in cogeneration, like the most efficient solution to his energetic needs and like tool of competitiveness, will see now punished by the new normative, whose effective application still has serious juridical lagoons. Of this form, big part of the industrial fabric Spanish can see forced to close his modern and efficient plants of cogeneration and set up the ancient boilers to produce steam, buying in parallel the electricity of a conventional head office less efficient and situated to cientos of kilometres of distance, with the consequent losses in transport and distribution. A situation inexplicable and retrograde in a world that walks to the efficiency and the sustainability and a half frontalmente contrary to the politics of energetic efficiency of the European Union, that recognise to the cogeneration like Better Available Technology and promote it through the European Directive of Energetic Efficiency between others.

The industrial gas for the cogeneration will have a gravamen four greater times. With this, discriminates gravely between industries that manufacture the same product, applying paradoxically an upper tax to which employ the most efficient technology: the cogeneration. The distortion of the competition, the technological discrimination and the transgression of the elementary principles of equality in fiscal treatment and of energetic efficiency of the European Union, would comport demands in all the fields. And to this adds to paralysed it of the renewals of plants, from past January, that supposes a cut of 50% of the premiums.

PSOE, PSC, CIU, PNB, ICV, Entesa of the Progres of Catalonia… collected amendments in favour of the cogeneration and his industry that have not considered , abocando the law to the industrial stop and damaging gravely one of the few opportunities to promote the employment. The government has ensañado with the cogeneration, hitting of way injustificada in a tool of vital competitiveness for the industry manufacturera national dumped in the export. The cogeneration is distant 30% of his official aims 2012, -does not grow from ten years ago-, and does not generate deficit to the system. The effects of this Law will be devastadores on the cogeneration and in consequence will do notice in the activity papelera, ceramic, chemical, azulejera, alimentary… entering a distortion of the competition between the companies and his external competitors, and especially with an affectation on industrial employment.
