If Germany are controversial tolling in 2016 is going to enter, does not on its own dienders to rely for its enforcement. That the president of the police union in the media show again.

However, you will be on the basis of this kind of images would not say, suing the German police about cutting his workforce and the expansion of the tasks. The check of vignettes has nothing to do with road safety, and therefore has no priority, says president Rainer Wendt in Bild.

By now, everyone has his say well done about the German plan to non-Germans on every square inch of his ways to burden by means of a vignette. Minister Schultz is supposedly not amused, the ANWB has the hooivorken and torches included and is a petition started, conservative Germans of the ruling party CSU cheer, and the other responses are in an intermediate position.

But let’s not forget that the pure symboolpolitiek. Germany wishes with the measure 625 million euros per year, complete peanuts in their budget. You have so much trouble to do, and all your neighbours against you in the suit of armor hunting? It seems to us to be quite a price to pay for little income. In addition, starting the German states in the border regions, and that Germany has much, also, to prance.

Ultimately nothing without the fiat of the Europe. The European Commission has in a statement to know the German plan, in principle, to support it, we should still but see if they have it in this form in 2016.
