Penso di sì, venerdì possiamo portarlo in cdm. Lo ha detto il viceministro dell'Economia Maurizio Leo a margine degli Stati generali dell'Agenzia delle Dogane e Monopoli a chi gli chiedeva del provvedimento cui sta lavorando il governo per le accise.

Stiamo lavorando per ridurre l'effetto che si sta producendo sul versante delle accise, sia per quanto riguarda le famiglie sia per le imprese. Probabilmente si porterà un ulteriore dl all'attenzione del consiglio dei ministri per evitare che dal 22 di questo mese ci sia l'aggravio legato all'aumento delle accise, ha detto Leo.

A chi gli chiedeva dettagli sulla durata e sulla modalità dell'intervento, il viceministro ha detto: Ci siamo lavorando perché dobbiamo trovare le coperture adeguate. In queste ore ci stiamo lavorando, vediamo come muoverci.
