Transmit changes in fuel prices as price sovereignty holder (PHI) to the Market Transparency Unit for Fuels (MTS-K)
Source: Serviceportal Rheinland-PfalzThe Market Transparency Center for Fuels (MTS-K) enables consumers to find out the current fuel prices at all filling stations in Germany at any time.
To this end, all changes to fuel prices must be reported immediately. This applies to the prices for the fuel types
- Super E5
- Super E10
- diesel
You are obliged to notify the MTS-K if you have the authority to set prices, i.e. if you set the prices as:
- Mineral oil company that sets the fuel prices, or
- Operator of a filling station who sets the prices themselves
The obligation to register applies to public filling stations that are accessible to all drivers without restriction. You can be exempted from the obligation to register if you fall below the so-called de minimis threshold. This is the case if you do not sell more than 750 cubic meters of fuel per year at your filling station.
To register, use Mobilithek, the federal government's online registration platform. The MTS-K accepts your data there. You must submit the price changes within 5 minutes, stating the time of the change. The time of change means that the change takes effect at the fuel pump.
As the Mobilithek does not store the reported data permanently, you must report your price data at least once a week, even if it has not changed.
If you cannot or do not wish to report the data yourself, commission a price reporter. These are specialized service providers.
