English Translation

31a The task of the economic group is to identify the needs of each firm by seeking their applications for clothing. In determining the needs of the companies themselves, the German Council of Trusts or Spokespersons for the Germans, the Works Committee (if not available, a Confidence Committee to be set up by the company manager) are involved for the Czech workers. Such requests shall be made to the economic group and shall be satisfied by the allocation of the quota in the order of urgency, whether by handing over the subscriptions to the holdings. If the allocation of clothing does not comply with the requirement, the distribution shall be carried out by the same operating institutions as in determining the need, but the final decision shall be taken by the manager. The card office is also responsible for the collection of the due dress card points. In the case of the card office refusing confirmation, it has to collect the purchase note and return it to the agent. The companies seeking for distribution have to declare affidavits about which company owns their own new stocks of clothing, respectively. the equipment and raw material for this purpose. Furthermore, they must indicate when the last division of the holding took place, the nature and the amount of the same operation. This declaration shall be sent to the economic group once and for all. The economic groups shall, by means of the central bodies, notify the Commission of the quantities and types of clothing allocated to each undertaking. Differences of opinion within the establishments resulting from the distribution of subscriptions or differences between the establishment and the economic group and central associations concerning the allocation of subscription tickets may be submitted to the authorised representative for decision. All the bodies involved are expected to be self-responsible for this war economic and social task without any special interest. As an advisory body, the representative shall be assisted by an advisory committee composed of representatives of the arms inspection, industry, the DAF and representatives of workers and experts. A limited number of retail companies selected by the retail industry group are allowed to distribute their work and work clothing separately; the relevant distributors will be notified by the business groups when the subscriptions are delivered. At most, they can also be consulted by the retail industry group.The central associations announce to the retail business group the distribution plan of their economic and specialised groups. Due to this report, the retail sector group shifts the resulting production of clothing to the locally eligible retailers. All parties involved must refrain from the formation of reserves. Traffic between agents and economic groups is carried out by the central associations. Of this the commercial group retail is excluded as a member of the distribution apparatus.
