Germany Introduces New Regulations on Fuel Prices, Drug Sales, Parental Rights, Laptop Chargers, and Lung Cancer Screening

On March 31, 2026, Germany announced several new laws. Gas stations can now raise fuel prices only once a day, at 12 p.m., and the Federal Cartel Office will be strengthened to curb high petrol costs. From mid‑April, minors will be prohibited from purchasing or possessing nitrous oxide and other psycho‑active liquids; online sales and vending machines will also be banned. A new parental‑rights reform will prevent a “race to claim paternity” by limiting challenges during ongoing proceedings. Starting April 28, all laptops sold in the EU must feature a USB‑C charger. Finally, smokers aged 50 to 75 can opt for low‑dose CT scans for lung‑cancer screening even without symptoms.
