'Unwanted'

Madlener asks House of Representatives for solution to higher petrol price

Per 1 januari 2026 vervalt een korting op de accijns, waardoor een liter benzine in één keer 25 eurocent duurder wordt.

Minister Barry Madlener (Infrastructure) wants the House of Representatives to try to keep petrol prices from rising too steeply next year. From 1 January, a discount on excise duty will expire, making a litre of petrol 25 eurocents more expensive all at once.

Madlener finds this “undesirable”, but cannot solve it himself. “That’s really up to the coalition or the Lower House, or else the state secretary of finance,” he said.

According to the minister, the problem is not an issue now, but there should be a solution by Budget Day in September. It would cost about €1.6 billion to counter the excise duty increase. “If we do nothing, this will come,” he said.
