Description[?]:
| Herr Präsident, issuing a ban on advertisements for "addictive" or "harmful" substances - including alcohol and tobacco - results can only be justified by puritanical morals or a misguided lack of trust in customers. Under the current policy, our famed breweries cannot even promote their brands despite the fact that they form an integral part of our folk culture. It is time to give businesses and consumers some breathing space after decades of relentless nannying. Robert Matsuyama, MdR (LVP - Budenlar) Wirtschaftsminister |
