Itinerant Trade: Since the trade regulations (Gewerbeordnung) of 1973 
the principle of fixed shop locations has governed all trade in 
Austria. There are, however, 3 exceptions: 1) the free trade of the 
travelling salesmen, 2) "plying for trade", limited to 
natural products (e.g. fruit, flowers, lavender), and 3) "shops 
on wheels", e.g. bakers, butchers and grocers ensuring the 
availability of goods to people in a certain area. In accordance with 
changing social conditions, the itinerant crafts (knife and cutlery 
sharpening, mending of pots, sieve-making or 
"coaster-making") and hawking have thus been reduced to a 
few sectors.
