Majority for growth package – but no real agreement. Ampel and Union have been fighting for a billion-dollar growth package for companies for weeks.

Mediation committee does come to a conclusion - but approval is still in the balance. Union had conditioned its approval of the law on the traffic light reversing the deletion of agricultural diesel. CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt said he had no confidence that the trafficLight would provide substantial relief for agriculture by March 22nd. Growth Opportunities Act provides for a number of tax reliefs for companies and an acceleration of approval procedures.
