  "account": "German Economics Minister Katherina Reiche's proposed law to cap fuel prices has been leaked. The draft bill does not automatically introduce a price cap, as demanded by the SPD, but rather creates a legal framework for one. A cap could be implemented if fuel prices exceed average EU price increases by more than 5 percentage points for three consecutive weeks. Even then, the cap would only be in effect for three months.",
  "summary": "The Minister for Economic Affairs is making a specific demand from the last coalition committee. The desired goal will probably be missed - but Reiche avoids getting economically tangled up.",
