Thirty-three members of the ruling New Democracy party are requesting the substantial reduction in the excise duty tax on heating oil, in a statement made towards the Minister of Finance.  The MPs said that the state has a lot more revenue from an increased consumption of home heating oil, and they seek to achieve an allowance for the unemployed, the uninsured elderly, those of low incomes, low pensions, families with three children, larger families and other vulnerable groups based on geographical elevation.
