Germany, fearing a backlash from beer drinkers back home, said November 07 it will block a European Union proposal to raise minimum tax rates on alcohol by 31 percent, Associated Press released November 07.

Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Mirow told reporters that while Berlin is not against an alcohol tax in general, it did not want to burden German beer drinkers - who already face a hike on standard sales tax starting in January - with an additional fee.

"Germany is not against alcohol tax but Germany is against beer becoming more expensive," Mirow said. "We have made clear that because of the sales tax raise, we have no manoeuvring space."

The Czech Republic, Latvia and Lithuania also spoke out at EU finance ministers' talks against the higher tax.

German diplomats said it was "an emotional issue" that Germany could only support if beer was exempted. Diplomats said Spain, Portugal, Italy and Cyprus also want opt-outs that won't raise the cost of their national drinks.

However, the European Commission so far has refused to bend to their wishes. Ministers need to vote unanimously for any changes to the tax law, so any veto would torpedo the plan. They are likely to return to the issue ...
