Greenpeace on the Federal Government's New Fuel Price Relief Measures

The planned tax relief on fuels contradicts the recommendations of the Monopolkommission and constitutes a problematic intervention in competition.

In the aftermath, the Monopolkommission, an advisory body of the Federal Government on matters of competition, ruled that such interventions "should be avoided in the future."

The text informs about the Federal Government's plans to reduce the mineral oil tax in order to make fuels 17 cents cheaper. The volume of the new fuel rebate is to amount to 2.5 billion euros and is to remain in effect until the end of the year. It is pointed out that similar measures had already been taken in May and June, which cost 1.6 billion euros. The Monopolkommission, an advisory body of the Federal Government, had previously recommended that such interventions in competition be avoided in the future. Greenpeace criticises this policy and, through the mention of the expert Marissa Reiserer, indicates that it has even more far-reaching concerns. The text places the political decisions in the context of competition law and environmental protection.
