Within Europe, each member state is responsible for its own taxation, but still, Violeta Bulc one European road pricing.

To start: who is Violeta Bulc? An important question, because few will this 51-year-old Slovenian lady to know. In her free time, she is a shaman who people on fire, and she has a black belt in Taekwomndo. In addition, she is since last november, Commissioner of Traffic, and has at least 1 thing with the undersigned in common: we both are – to say the least – not a fan of the discriminatory German tolplannen.

As an alternative, suggested Bulc yesterday in the German media, the introduction of a European system on the basis of the road pricing. About how exactly this form needs to get she is not so clear, and we could income. Euroopa may 1 large internal market, it still consists of sovereign states with their own taxes and filling of the roads, which sometimes also private parties owner.

So, if there is already something like a European toll would come, then the real chance that this is a tax on already existing taxes is going to be, unless we succeed in the coming years all of our rates to harmonize. The idea is nice, but the execution we don’t see that 1-2-3 happen.
