German parliament paves way for road toll
By EUobserver
MPs in the German Bundestag approved a bill on Friday that would introduce a road toll, a week after members of the European Parliament said the plan was discriminatory. The bill would allow German drivers to deduct the toll from their vehicle tax, an option unavailable to non-German EU citizens driving through Germany. The German vote had the support of most MPs in the grand coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD.
