The federal cabinet has once again been forced to postpone the scheduled vote on the Building Modernization Act (GMG), originally set for this Wednesday. According to reports citing coalition circles, an agreement on the draft legislation remains elusive. A specific sticking point involves the dispute between the Union and the SPD regarding how the costs for installing new gas and oil heating units should be divided between landlords and tenants. Despite the delays, sources are now optimistic that a conclusion will be reached by the end of the week. For context, the party leaderships from the Union and the SPD had previously reached an agreement on key guidelines for the GMG back in February, and the cabinet had initially aimed to pass the bill before Easter.
