In a letter to Chamber of Commerce General Secretary Karlheinz Kopf, retail spokesman Josef Schirak expressed his displeasure.

Shirak: Car trading is clearly of no importance”

For Shirak, the government's recent announcements that there will be a "gradual resurrection" of trade after Easter have a flaw. The automobile trade has actually or seemingly been forgotten. The government only thinks about eating, drinking, shaving, washing, applying make-up as well as hardware stores, garden centers, etc. "The car trade clearly has no value. Our taxes and duties are apparently worth less," says Shirak angrily. In particular, the liquidity of numerous companies is “worrying”, especially since there is an enormous need for capital in the automotive trade. This liquidity is currently being significantly burdened by vehicles that have already been sold but not yet taken over by the end consumer and therefore not yet paid for. In a nutshell: The most important thing at the moment is that vehicles can be handed over as quickly as possible. "We are committed to all safety regulations. We can comply with all regulations," said the retail spokesman.
