Two-minute practice
Play the bulletin. Replay the fuel-price section once with the chunks above, then hide the text and replay. What does the government want to do? Has it already reached agreement?

Optional Anki candidates
Choose only items unfamiliar or slow to retrieve: miettiä (consider / think about), alentaa (lower / reduce), päästä sopuun (reach agreement). These are recommendations, not added cards.
