European Parliament
President.
The next item is Question Time (B6-0002/2006 ).
We will take the following questions to the Commission.
Part I
Question No 33 by Andreas Schwab , represented by Richard Seeber
Subject: Compatibility of car toll with EU law
Following the introduction of the toll for heavy goods vehicles in Germany, plans to introduce a toll for cars in the near future are also under consideration. As this would lead to higher costs for German car drivers, the introduction of a car toll would have to be accompanied by a compensatory reduction in vehicle tax.
Does the Commission consider that the introduction of the car toll in Germany, conditional to a decision being made to reduce vehicle tax at the same time, is compatible with the ban on discrimination laid down in Article 12 of the EC Treaty?
