Under Andreas Scheuer, the Federal Transport Ministry awarded the contracts for a German car toll in October and December 2018. On 18 June 2019, the European Court of Justice ruled that the toll broke EU law. After a settlement with the operator, the failed toll cost taxpayers 243 million euros. In December 2023, an expert opinion found that a damages claim against Scheuer had only small chances of success, and the ministry did not sue. In the same decision the ministry called his political responsibility undisputed.
