Overview

• Baden-Württemberg is reported to have led the draft motion on behalf of the Länder.
• The proposal mirrors Austria’s model, permitting one price increase at noon and allowing cuts at any time.
• The initiative moves through federal intergovernmental channels, with Bundesrat approval described as likely in reports.
• The Tankstellen-Interessenverband backs the plan, with spokesman Herbert Rabl calling the limit “right and good.”
• A comparable 2012 attempt by the states was not adopted by the federal government, and the current plan has not been enacted.
