WHATS UP WITH GERMANY?

Every single household in Germany will have to pay a flat fee of €17.98 per month for a TV licence regardless of whether they have a TV or not under a new law due to come into force on January 1 2013.

The change will see public broadcasters ARD and ZDF getting an extra billion euros to fund government propaganda following the decision by the prime ministers of the federal states made on June 9 in Berlin.

40 million German households will have to pay the fee from 2013.
