From Friday onward, only vacuum cleaners with an output of less than 900 watts are allowed to be sold in stores. Consumers’ concerns that these vacuums might be worse in terms of suction capabilities are, according to the federal government, unfounded. Benefits for car-sharing vehiclesA car-sharing law, which also comes into effect on Friday, will allow the states in Germany to set up special parking spaces or allow free parking for car-sharing vehicles. At the beginning of 2017, a total of 1,715 million car-sharing customers were registered, sharing a total of 17,200 vehicles. They might be less happy to learn that this law still doesn't apply to goat or sheep.
