Restaurants start receiving 'schnitzel bonus' in Austria amid 'discriminatory' claims
A €10,000 (£8,420) grant scheme for restaurants that serve traditional Austrian food has started to take effect amid claims it is "discriminatory". The state government of the Lower Austria region announced the €4m (£3.37m) scheme, nicknamed the "schnitzel bonus", last October - and the grants are now being distributed. Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung last year quoted Robert Seeber, chief spokesman for the country's chamber of commerce for tourism and leisure, as saying the scheme is "problematic" because "it is one-dimensional and discriminatory towards other businesses".
