| Message | Gerhard Fleck (Leader of the opposition): May I talk about article 2. What if a children want to buy a box of chocolate for his mother as present? I think we should allow alcohol in bottles only to adults, but in very little amount we should allow it to children. |

| Message | The LSPD agree on most issues, but we do have a problem with both Art. 1 and Art. 3. First, we reject *any* form of discrimination, whether positive or negative. Second, we think that those safety legislations will give us a competitive disadvantage. However, we will support this bill - we will be delighted if the SDM concerns our suggestions, though. |
