"Together with culture, retail and gastronomy are essential
factors of attractiveness
for our inner cities", König was quoted on Friday in a message from the Nuremberg city administration.
"But more and more - especially owner-managed - shops are threatened with
bankruptcy
if they don't get a perspective soon."
"The development is a massive threat to our inner cities", added König.

The federal and state governments must provide greater financial support for the municipalities, and

"The basis for calculating the aid payments is often felt to be unnecessarily complicated, unjust, arbitrary and inadequate," said König.
Complaints about the design of the previous auxiliary instruments would come from all corners of the retail sector, from owner-operated shops to large chain of department stores.
