If fuel prices are artificially lowered in a country, it will be an advantage for local companies to the detriment of competitors based in other countries. I wonder how the EU can allow such a form of protectionism. Oh, silly me, I just forgot EU == France ๐คฃ
As a German I feel offended that you don't attribute anything bad in the EU to Germany.
German EU dictatorship singlehandedly forces lower French petrol prices!
Also something something nuclear power!
Aaaaah, so soothing. I feel peace again. Thanks, mate.
You're not making any sense. There are already huge disparities between EU countries based on tax structures, and it's not causing huge distortions. I can guarantee you petrol will still be cheaper in Luxembourg.
That's how politicians from all parties always justify not doing anything to defend local industries.
