ECJ advocate General: No objections to Car toll

transport Minister Scheuer is the good news: The advocate General at the European court of justice, the German Car toll thinks is right. Foreign drivers would not be discriminated against.

the vote of The advocate General at the European court of justice is clear: The German Car toll is compatible with EU law. Unlike of Austria presented to the owners of foreign vehicles would not be discriminated against.

Austria mind when the owners of German vehicles, the toll is to be offset. You should pay less road tax. For the owners of foreign vehicles, there is not such a settlement. Because Austria considers this to be discriminatory, the government has initiated in Vienna, the ECJ infringement proceedings against Germany.

Federal transport Minister Andreas Scheuer wants to introduce a Car toll in Germany no later than 2021.

"not comparable"

The advocate General of the ECJ can not understand the arguments of Austria. Foreign vehicle owners would not be discriminated against. Both groups, therefore, holders of German and foreign vehicles, not one could compare with each other: The holder of foreign vehicles would only have to pay the toll, if you wanted to use German roads. Holder of German cars would be charged, however, in addition to the toll with the addition of the Car tax. Therefore, the toll is no adverse discrimination.
