As reported by EurActiv Germany, the toll would kick off from 2016, with German drivers only being able to buy a year-long vignette, which also applies to federal roads, and being reimbursed for the tolling fee through the automobile tax. Foreigners can also buy the 10 day or 2 month version

Key changes according to the publication include a revised price for short-term vignettes for foreign drivers. Now, the ten day vignette will not only be available at the price of €10, but in three categories: €5, €10 and €15.

Two-month vignettes will also be sold in three categories (€16, €22 and €30) instead of the single €22 price planned before. The price category is determined based on the size and emissions of the car.

The move is intended to make it easier for the European Commission to accept the measure after it said it considered short-term prices to be much too high compared to the year-long vignette.

The Bundestag is looking to decide on the passenger car toll in a roll-call vote.
