Germany mulls relaxing Sunday shopping rules
Germany is currently considering easing restrictions on opening stores on Sundays as part of efforts to stimulate local consumption, which has been affected by the economic recession. Retail sectors are calling for stores to be allowed to operate on Sundays, after current laws prohibiting such openings for over a hundred years, which are based on the principles of rest and spiritual well-being. Exceptions have been made for certain activities such as restaurants, stores on transportation hubs, and the sale of essential goods. The attempts to expand Sunday opening hours may face opposition from churches and trade unions, which wish to keep this day as a time for rest and family.
