Eco tax incentives in France

Despite being a conservative, Sarkozy is introducing very interesting loan and tax incentives for the protection of the environment. Basically he is going to launch another scheme of a 0% interest loan for the energetic upgrade of properties (double glazing, new heating systems,…) up to an amount of eur 30.000 per household. The so called local “eco loans” of the banks do not make commercially sense as one would not really recover the interests paid to the bank through the upgrading of the properties.
Sarkozy is also introducing “bonus/malus” on certain products (cars, televisions, white items,…) following the principle “the more it pollutes, the more it is taxed”. I personally find these measures very effective and I think we should also push them forward in Malta.
