Bundesratspräsident Bovenschulte announced that the tax legislation will be the sole agenda item for the session. The proposal, which aims to lower the mineral oil tax by 17 cents per liter for two months, was first debated in the Bundestag and is expected to be passed next week. This measure, initiated by the Union and SPD, seeks to alleviate the financial burden on drivers due to soaring fuel prices attributed to the ongoing conflict in Iran, with implementation slated for May.
