The new fuel price regulation's enforcement was postponed to April 1 despite the law being finalized last Friday.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs requested the delay, citing the need for more preparation time by oil companies and the cartel office.

Under the new policy, fuel prices may only be raised once daily at noon, while price reductions can occur at any time.

Fines up to 100,000 euros will apply for violations to curb rapid price fluctuations at fuel stations.

The government plans to adopt an Austrian-style rule allowing fuel stations to increase prices only once daily.

Price reductions remain unrestricted to counteract the persistent rise in fuel costs due to the Iran conflict.

Stricter cartel law enforcement is under consideration to enhance oversight of pricing and cost practices.

Fuel prices have increased for twelve straight days, prompting criticism from politicians and station operators alike.

We want to break this mechanism.

"Price gouging" - Klingbeil criticizes oil companies in video: Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil comments on current gasoline prices in an interview

Key FactsFuel Prices Surge Amid Rising Oil Costs and Market Tensions

Mar 10, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: welt.de

The fuel station association fears oil companies will immediately pass on the increased crude oil costs, potentially pushing prices beyond €2.50 per liter.

Station operators gain minimal profits while facing consumer dissatisfaction and declining sales in their convenience shops.

Economy Minister Reiche announced a cartel office investigation into price spikes and considers regulations similar to Austria’s daily price adjustment limits.

Finance Minister Klingbeil condemns the artificial price inflation and advocates for enhanced transparency and limits on daily fuel price increases.

We see that prices are being artificially driven up, and that the current political situation is being exploited to maximize profits. I consider that unacceptable, and politics must not stand by.
— Lars Klingbeil, Federal Finance Minister, at an EU finance ministers meeting in Brussels; context: criticizing price gouging by oil companies

She stressed that price gouging will not be tolerated and is coordinating closely with the Federal Cartel Office.

Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil warned oil companies against exploiting the crisis and called for decisive political intervention.

Coalition factions in parliament agreed to form a working group to monitor energy price trends and explore potential policy responses.

There must be no price gouging now, and politics, of course, must act and proceed clearly and decisively.
