AI MODIFIEDTVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Sugar Tax: Chancellery Halts Klingbeil's Reform Plans.
The sugar tax plans of Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil are apparently off the table in the federal government – at least for now. The Federal Chancellery has stopped a corresponding draft law and classified it as not capable of securing a majority. In doing so, the Chancellery has shut down at the outset a project that had only been set in motion the previous day.
What happened?
The Federal Chancellery has provisionally stopped the draft law by Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil to introduce a sugar tax. This is reported by Spiegel, Handelsblatt and Focus in agreement.
not capable of a majority
Reasoning from the Chancellery
As the reason for the stop, the Chancellery cites that the draft is not capable of securing a majority. As Handelsblatt reports, Klingbeil had only sent the draft out for voting among the ministries on Wednesday. According to government circles, the necessary majority is missing in the cabinet.
What remains open now
It therefore remains open whether and in what form the reform still has a chance in this legislative period. The Spiegel speaks of a row in the federal government over Klingbeil's plans. Further details – such as on revisions or a new attempt – are not yet known.
Status: further details to follow.
