“The new disposable deposit system brings massive additional effort for households, endangers jobs in the domestic economy and leads in addition to distortions in the border regions,” said FPÖ environmental spokesman NABG today. Thomas Spalt in the face of a current insider report compared to the APA, which indicates a massive decline in canned beer sales.
“According to an industry insider, the sales of beer in doses have already broken down dramatically – millions of liters less have been sold, especially in border regions in the east and south of Austria. While countries such as Slovenia or Hungary work with a lower or no deposit, Austrian companies are clearly disadvantaged,” said Spalt.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that this deposit system leads to consumption shift, difficulties in everyday life and conflicts of competition. A system that brings more damage than benefits is the completely wrong way,” said the FPÖ environmental spokesman.
“This deposit system should be abolished immediately, because in our view the negative effects outweigh far: too high costs, lack of control, unnecessary bureaucracy and in the end the population always pays on it,” says Spalt. He once again referred to the online petition of the FPÖ “Stop bottle deposit-for fair consumption instead of new stress!” www.flaschenpfand-stoppen.at can be supported and signed.
