Germany to make fax illegal?

  • German parliament to stop using fax machines
    No longer allowed at the Bundestag from the start of the next legislative period, the chamber's Council of Elders decided on Thursday.
  • Young parliamentarians in particular were surprised at how often fax was used instead of emails in the Bundestag.
  • Marco Buschmann, parliamentary secretary of the FDP (Free Democratic Party), said he was pleased to see that the “Bundestag had arrived in the 21st century.”
  • Left Party Parliamentary Secretary Jan Korte called the decision a “blatant change” government revealed it was still using over 900 fax machines.
  • Angela Merkel's chancellery had just “a few” fax machines — but is known to rely on a pneumatic tube system
