Germany on the 18th agreed with federal states on a package to ease high fuel prices, including a new round of fuel-tax cuts and a temporary fuel-price cap. The plan lowers the energy tax to reduce gasoline and diesel by about €0.17 per litre, is to take effect by Oct. 1 and run through year-end, and is estimated to cost roughly €2.5bn. The measure mirrors a May–June temporary scheme that reduced tax revenues by about €1.6bn.
