It is the first time that Brussels openly criticize the plans of the Germans.

With his statements seems to be EU Commissioner Siim Kallas to come back on his earlier statement. Last year, he reported, namely that the introduction of toll by the Germans for cars with non-German license plates in accordance with the European regulations.

The combination of the discount on road tax for German road users and the introduction of tol is now labeled as “discrimination on the basis of nationality” by the EU Commissioner of transport. The German newspaper Bild reported this late last night.

Previously, it appeared from research that one and the other one was in conflict with the European legislation. Until now, Alexander Dobrindt’s plans for the toll always know how to sell it to his people with the promise that the Germans for the toll would be compensated, nevertheless, there is also from my own country a lot of criticism. If this does not succeed, his plans may fall into the water because there is not enough support for it will exist in their own country. It seems to be the second crack in his schedule after it was announced that the toll the German economy one billion euros per year could cost. It is still wait and see what the Germans of the European criticism to attract.
