The lawyers - and I feel I should take the opportunity to mention this as well - Michael Hausfeld and Martin Mendelson, who represent some of the governments of Eastern European countries, commented at the time that, in some respects, Austria is in fact providing more generous compensation payments than Germany, because in the first place, we are including the agricultural workers, and secondly, we are also paying compensation for children under the age of 12 and women who gave birth whilst in forced labour camps.
Advokaterne - og det vil jeg gerne nævne i denne forbindelse - Michael Hausfeld og Martin Mendelson, som repræsenterer en del af de østeuropæiske regeringer, udtalte i den anledning, at Østrig på nogle punkter sågar har ydet en mere generøs erstatning end Tyskland, da vi a) inddrager landarbejderne og b) også betaler erstatning til børn under 12 år samt kvinder, der fødte børn som tvangsarbejdere.
