Germania reduce taxele la carburanți cu echivalentul a 90 de bani pe litru și are în vedere o plafonare a prețurilor. Azi sunt alegeri locale, inclusiv în Berlin - Economica.net

Germany will cut fuel taxes by €0.17 per liter to support consumers amid rising prices, effective October 1 until year-end. This measure, costing €2.5 billion, includes a €0.14 reduction in energy tax. Discussions for price caps with the oil industry are planned by January 2027. Chancellor Merz emphasized the need for resilience against the crisis, as fuel prices have surged due to geopolitical tensions. The decision follows negotiations between federal and state governments, with funding shared between them. Critics argue the tax cut fails to address dependency on oil and climate issues, while upcoming elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern may impact Merz's party approval ratings.
