MAINZ (dpa-AFX) – According to Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer, like in Austria, gas stations should only be allowed to change their prices once a day. “This strengthens consumer trust and the transparency of pricing” and no longer allows for the many jumps per day, said the SPD politician in Mainz, with a view to the rapidly rising petrol and diesel prices.
The SPD politician called on Federal Economics Minister Katherina Reiche (CDU) to quickly examine this possibility. The oil companies should also have to make their pricing transparent.
Schweitzer sees rip-offs among commuters and companies
“What is now happening at German gas stations and pumps is completely exaggerated,” said Schweitzer. The rising prices in the first few hours were not a reaction to the Iran war, but rather an attempt was made once again to “really increase returns.” “This is a rip-off of commuters, craft businesses and all the people who have to be on the move every day.”
The wait announced by Federal Economics Minister Reiche “is no longer enough,” emphasized Schweitzer. He asked them to make “smart suggestions” now./irs/DP/stw
