The federal election is also about the price of electricity. The consumer advice centers already have a demand on the next government: climate protection – at fair prices.
As one of the first projects of the next federal government, the consumer advice centers are calling for stronger climate protection at fair prices for citizens.
The chairman of the Federal Association (vzbv), Klaus Müller, told the German Press Agency before the German Consumer Day of his organization today, “The climate protection measures do not allow any delay.” It is important to relieve consumers to the same extent through a tax reduction in the electricity price and the introduction of a climate check as they would be burdened by a higher CO2 price.
It is good that the federal government has presented a law for fair consumer contracts in the fight against cost traps, said Müller. “But there has to be more.” There is a need for action in the case of unwanted door-to-door sales, non-transparent contracts in shops and telephone advertising. “This strengthens consumers’ rights and ultimately stimulates competition.” The legal plans for fairer contracts aim, among other things, at terms and rules for automatic renewal. They are to be decided on Thursday in the Bundestag.
The program of the German Consumer Day includes a discussion with Federal Food Minister Julia Klöckner (CDU), Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD), the Greens chairman Annalena Baerbock, left parliamentary group leader Dietmar Bartsch and FDP leader Christian Lindner.
