Ministers from these two parties have long sought to reach an agreement on concrete measures to alleviate the consequences of this conflict, which are being felt worldwide. Finally, intensive negotiations were held over the previous weekend, and government representatives managed to agree on measures that were unveiled today. First and foremost, Germany will temporarily reduce the gasoline tax by 17 cents per liter, a measure that will last at least two months. Additionally, companies will be able to provide their employees with a one-time bonus of 1,000 euros, which will not be taxed. The ruling coalition has announced that in the coming weeks, it will present a longer-term proposal to reduce taxes for citizens with low and middle incomes. They also intend to pass a systemic reform of health insurance in parliament by summer, aiming to ease the burden on German employers in light of the accelerated aging population. The coalition has also confirmed its intention to push in Brussels for further relaxation of emission targets for car manufacturers, rejecting the European Commission's proposal on small cars, as well as the suggestion to introduce mandatory compensation for additional emissions.
