Helmut Siekmann on the abolition of cash ("Bild am Sonntag", "Handelsblatt")

IMFS in the Media

In the discussion about the abolition of cash a "Handelsblatt" journalist has started an experiment. Instead of transferring the broadcasting fee he is trying to pay cash. However, the broadcasting fee collection center is not prepared for that.

The collection center claims that only cashless payments are possible. Professor Helmut Siekmann argues against that referring to European law.
