The toll for Cars on German roads is set to start in October 2020. A corresponding agreement was on 30. December had been signed, said Federal Minister of transport, Andreas Scheuer (CSU) on Tuesday on Twitter popular Video. “This means that we can create justice on German roads, because everyone who uses our infrastructure, the pay – without additional burden for the residents.”
Scheuer described as a good news to start the new Year. The financial and economic framework, the Bundestag has given, will be adhered to, the Minister said.
The Car toll is controversial, especially Austria sees this as a violation of EU law. The fee is a prestige project of the CSU in the election campaign of 2013, and is to be collected on Federal roads and highways. Domestic motorists are to be relieved in return for toll payments through a reduction in the Car tax completely. Drivers from abroad should pay only on motorways.
