Germany's finance minister proposes a “crisis discount” to dampen the impact of recent fuel price hikes due to the war in Ukraine.

in the German government, meanwhile, have proposed introducing a speed limit on the country's highways to curb fuel use. A spokesman for the environment ministry, Christopher Stolzenberg, said a speed limit was “good for protecting the climate, protecting resources and safety on the road.”Lindner declined to comment on proposals for a speed limit, which his party, the Free Democrats, have previously opposed.

Sweden's Social Democratic minority government presented an aid package worth 14 billion kronor that needs approval in the 349-seat Riksdagen.
