A French proposal to tax luxury cars has drawn fire from the German leader Gerhard Schroeder, who warned the move could strain relations between the EU states, according to reports.
Schroeder, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an auto industry conference in Stuttgart on Tuesday, was responding to a suggestion by the head of the German car manufacturers’ association that the French tax represented a “de facto” discrimination against German car makers.
"If there was discrimination of the German car industry through demands on the one hand and penalties on the other hand, this could not only violate the European idea, but cause problems in German-French cooperation," warned Schroeder.
