France
France wants to mitigate the increase in fuel prices with a discount of 15 cents per liter.
According to Prime Minister Jean Castex, the subsidy will apply for four months from April 1 and will cost the state around two billion euros.
The discount should be given when paying at the petrol station checkout or by bank card.
The government in Paris has already frozen gas prices, limited the increase in electricity prices to four percent, issued extraordinary energy cheques, decided to compensate 38 million people for inflation and increased mileage allowances.
Italy
By taxing additional profits from energy companies, the government wants to relieve families and companies.
The tax should amount to ten percent on additional profits made in the past six months - the same period last year serves as a comparison.
The money thus raised is to be used for a new package of measures worth 4.4 billion euros, with which the consequences of high energy costs are to be cushioned.
A number of taxes on gas and electricity have already been eliminated or reduced.
Belgium and Netherlands
In both countries, value-added tax on natural gas, electricity and heating energy was reduced, as was consumption tax on petrol and diesel.
Filling up the tank for 60 euros means a saving of ten euros in Belgium.
For the average private household in the Netherlands, the half-year energy bill is 140 euros lower.
In Belgium, a "social tariff" for electricity and gas for low-income households was also extended until September.
The government has also announced that it will postpone the nuclear phase-out by ten years to 2035.
This also applies to the Tihange nuclear power plant near the German border.
Sweden
According to the comparison portal globalpetrolprices.com, taxes on fuel in Sweden are among the highest in Europe.
On Monday, Stockholm announced a tax cut of 1.30 kronor (twelve cents) per liter from June 1st to October 31st.
This should cost the state 350 million euros.
In addition, each vehicle owner should receive a subsidy of at least 1000 crowns - for the state that is 400 million euros.
Buyers of e-cars will continue to receive support, as will households with high electricity consumption.
The state wants to spend a total of 1.3 billion euros on its relief package.
Poland
The government had already set up an "inflation shield" before the Ukraine war, which was extended.
Since February 1, the 23 percent sales tax on gas has been eliminated and reduced on other goods.
Five million low-income households are to receive financial aid to offset rising food prices.
Hungary and Slovenia
In Hungary, energy prices have been capped since autumn.
In the meantime, the government has ordered that trucks over 7.5 tons can only fill up at special gas stations - a run on the gas stations had previously led to bottlenecks at smaller stations.
Slovenia has capped the price at the pumps to 1.50 euros.
The result: in the past few days, numerous Italians have come across the border to fill up their cars.
