LUXEMBOURG, June 18 (Reuters) - A planned German highway
toll for cars discriminates against foreign drivers and breaches
EU law, the European Union's highest court said on Tuesday.
    The European Court of Justice backed a challenge from
Austria that the system was set up so that the economic burden
fell solely on drivers of vehicles from EU countries other than
Germany.
