    Bundestag Approves Key Railway Infrastructure Projects

    The German Bundestag has approved three significant railway projects aimed at enhancing connectivity and modernization.

    The approved initiatives include the construction of a new railway line from Dresden to Prague, featuring a 30-kilometer tunnel through the Ore Mountains. Additionally, the Bundestag endorsed the dual-track expansion of the Sylt connection and the partial modernization of the railway link between Ulm and Augsburg. In a related legislative move, the parliament has also passed a reform allowing digital access to police clearance certificates for employment or volunteer purposes, contingent upon the possession of a Bund-ID account. A decision on the potential reduction of the air traffic tax is expected later today.
