German Perspective—19.08.08
What happened this week: This has been another week that could easily be described as a non-event. Interest from overseas clients was minimal, while interest from European customers was non-existent. Daily concerns about global economic development and the sharp slowdown of growth in the EU are certainly not helping to improve tanners’ moods. China is still experiencing Olympic fever and in Europe most people are still on holiday, but this is just part of the problem.
