An extension of delivery times for Russian materials
"
All companies that have contracts with Russia, whose supplies depend on raw materials made or sourced from Russia, aluminum, titanium... the more they are exposed, the higher the compensation will be
," promised the Prime Minister.
At Lamory & Wald, general manager Rémi Labou said he had noticed an extension of delivery times for his materials (steel, aluminum, etc.), purchased from French retailers.
"
We have inflated our stocks of raw materials a little, but we are reacting day by day
," he said, saying he was "
worried, of course
".
As already announced by Emmanuel Macron, Jean Castex confirmed that “
additional measures
” were going to be taken in the face of soaring fuel prices, which are straining the consumer budget.
On this point, the government was looking for the right solution, after having already allocated in recent months an inflation allowance of 100 euros for 38 million people, and raised the scale of mileage allowances.
In total, Jean Castex recalled that the State had committed “
20 billion
” euros to try to stem the effects of inflation, mainly driven by the continuous increase in energy prices.
The resilience plan should be refined taking into account the outcome of the informal European summit, which is being held on Thursday and Friday in Versailles and during which a community response is also expected.
