Berlin – The federal government is tipping the controversial surcharge for all gas customers.
Instead, tailor-made measures would be developed for the ailing gas importers Uniper, Sefe and VNG, and a gas price brake would also be created, according to a decision presented on Thursday by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP). .
