And the farce of the economy continues. It's already audacious how the economy interprets the letter from Brussels - I can already see a clear difference between "wants to stop the deposit system" and "cannot advance the introduction", as it allegedly states in the letter according to WDR. But the economy has been blocking the whole thing for years anyway. They really took the cake when they complained before the introduction of the first stage that everything had come too quickly - and all those years before they simply ignored the topic.
Addendum: what's also remarkable is how the press handles it. While WDR and Tagesschau still point to the true content - namely that there is absolutely no contradiction from the EU Commission (or even a rebuke) - this essential detail is simply ignored in Pro7 news, for example.
At WDR.de there's the original article.
