"The European Commission stated that Slovakia's decision to charge foreign drivers more for diesel is highly discriminatory and against EU law, emphasizing that measures must not discriminate between nationality."
"Slovakia's government began restricting diesel sales, allowing customers to fill only a car tank and a container of up to 10 litres, while foreign drivers would face higher charges."
The European Commission declared Slovakia's decision to charge foreign drivers more for diesel illegal under EU law. This measure is seen as discriminatory and undermines the integrity of the single market. Slovakia implemented these charges in response to rising energy prices and disruptions in oil supplies from Ukraine. The government restricted diesel sales, allowing limited purchases and adjusting prices for foreign drivers based on averages from neighboring countries. The Commission plans to take legal action to ensure compliance with EU regulations.
