00:00For Cyril Taquet, the government's announcement offers little relief.
00:05Diesel will cost 20 cents less per litre from the 1st of April,
00:09but given how much it currently costs to fill up, the measure is totally insufficient.
00:14A 20 cent reduction is nothing.
00:17Right now, it's our own cash flow that's keeping the vehicles running so that we can do our jobs.
00:23Eventually it will dry up and then we'll have to stop driving and that will be that.
00:27A 20 cent reduction has also been announced for the fishing sector.
00:32The price of diesel will drop to €1.10 per litre,
00:35but some fishermen are still hesitant to continue their work.
00:39I'm carrying on for now, but I'm really on the verge of stopping.
00:43It's this or nothing, so we'll take it.
00:46The agricultural sector has also been hit hard by soaring prices,
00:50and farmers will now be exempt from certain taxes under the new measures.
00:55So far, no measures have been announced for individual motorists,
00:58some of whom wonder why they have not been included.
01:03Ordinary people also have to drive to work when there's no bus or other public transport available,
01:07so I don't think it's very fair.
01:11Others are more understanding.
01:14Help would be nice, but I agree with prioritising those who are working and those in need.
01:20I can't wait a little longer.
01:22The government's aid measures come at a cost of €70 million.
01:27They could be suspended at any point if the price of fuel drops.
01:30After that, we're going to be able to go to a cost of a cost of a cost of a
01:30cost of $30 million.
