The Bundesrat waited frustratingly long with this restriction and i am unhappy with that. So no, they really wanted to continue but their hands were kinda tued here.

That is not how the law works, currently it’s: no arms for countries in armed conflicts. There is a process to adapt those rules, but it’s really slow. Yes, that includes export bans on stuff to israel and iran too.

I mean, fair enough. I do not really care either way, i just want to make stalling out the individual person impossible.

Exactly. Companies shouldn’t get better treatment when they behave worse.

Edit: Totally would be ok with longer timelines though, as companies can be slower for understandable reasons.

It needs to be as easy to go after companies doing this shit as it is to collect dept from individuals (at least how it works here). No courts, just a government office where you can make your claim and the company needs to put effort in to dispute that. Anything else and they can just drag their feet.

I read the part 1 of that and the reasons range from image concerns, to data security issues, to talking to the completely wrong fucking person because they don’t understand the governemt structure, to just getting ghosted. And there are a few more. It was a very funny read to me.
