An owner of a restaurant in Oostende gives a discount of ten percent for one month to customers who are stockholders in Fortis and hopes other owners will follow his example. If others co-operate, we could give a sign to the government and at the same time help the victims of the credit crises. For example, if a Fortis-stockholder could get a ten percent discount for a washing machine, that could compensate for a part of the lost amount of money. Commercial enterprises would make less profit at the end of the year but the government would collect less taxes.
