Well, naturally the European Comission, and all their employees, as well as the Parliament and all their employees will naturally be exempt from any conservation efforts, either by getting to buy fossil fuels tax free or by special rationing, or both. After all, the EU nomenclatura is never hit by any of their own decisions. The goal of any proposals will naturally have to make sure that the Parliament gets fuel, while the rest of the population does not. It's been that way so far.
The Parliament could start by not moving all their paperwork, offices, people etc between Strasbourg and Brussels every week. Not only does it cost billions, but just think of the total waste of energy just to make sure that the french farmers don't pour manure (literally) all over the Parliament.
Anyway, once fuel shortages starts, the french farmers may very well exhaust all their remaining fuel by doing protests. Good bye, and good riddance.
The real people in power in the EU are french farmers. They will set the policy, and they will never give up their diesel.
Is there something call agronomphobia? Fear of farmers? The french government has it at least, and so does the EU.
Your ignorant anti-EU rants are tiresome. There are actually lots of arguments to criticize the EU institutions or the French farmers, but you don't provide a single one.
Yes, lets ignore that a majority of the EU citizenry are hostile towards the EU, ignorance or not.
