The government must help firms
implement a new tax on plastic packaging, Environment Minister
Sergio Costa said Thursday.
He said talks should be set up at the industry ministry to
help businesses comply with the tax, introduced in next year's
budget.
"The talks are right because a 'fair transition' mean just
that," he said.
"No one must be left behind," he said.
"We must help firms to change," Costa said.
"We must all move together towards production that safeguards
the environment".
Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri said earlier the tax would
only regard plastic packaging.
It is one of a slew of measures in the budget aimed at
promoting the green economy.
