CroatiaThe Austrian ruling coalition has decided to extend fuel price relief measures for another month, until the end of September, aiming to ease the rise in prices caused by conflicts in the Middle East. The current reduced measure includes a continued reduction of the gasoline tax by 1.9 cents per liter, according to the Ministry of Economics. Originally introduced in April, the measure initially consisted of two parts, limiting trade margins on fuel and reducing taxes, which together lowered prices by ten cents per liter. The margin limitation was suspended in June. The ruling three-centrist parties meet monthly to decide whether to extend the measure and in what form. The far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) and other critics argue the measure is insufficient and does not provide consumers with significant savings. State Secretary Michaela Schmidt from the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ), participating in the governing coalition talks, stated that halting the growth in fuel prices remains an important tool in the fight against inflation.
