In Poland, recent measures to lower prices have made fuel significantly cheaper than in neighboring Germany, drawing large numbers of German drivers to stations near the border. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the government’s “Lower Fuel Prices” package had brought prices down, while Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said authorities were monitoring the rise in so-called fuel tourism and could intervene if needed. Elsewhere in Central Europe, the Czech government has announced margin controls and lower excise taxes, while Romania has also moved to cut diesel duties. EU officials, however, warn that member states should brace for continued pressure on energy prices.
