At a closed meeting on Sunday, the experts from the Gas Commission worked out how the state could relieve consumers of gas prices. They will present a first result at a press conference this Monday at 10.30 a.m. FOCUS online accompanies this in the live ticker.
The first cornerstones had already leaked out in advance, on which the committee around the three chairmen, economic expert Veronika Grimm, the head of the Federation of German Industries, Siegfried Russwurm, and the chairman of the Mining, Chemical and Energy Industrial Union (IG BCE), Michael Vassiliadis, agreed had. According to this, gas customers should receive a special payment in the amount of a monthly bill this year. From next year, the state wants to subsidize the gas consumption of the citizens by 80 percent. According to the government, it wants to deal with the proposals “immediately and intensively”.
