Germany wants retail outlets to give advance warnings on price hikes.

摘要

Germany's Ministry of Transportation and the Federal Cartel Office have proposed that oil marketers be required to announce pump price increases 24 hours in advance, and be allowed to raise prices only once in a 24-hour period. "If Big Oil has to announce a higher price beforehand and then not change that for 24 hours, drivers know what the deal is," explained Transportation Minister Peter Ramsauer.
