Greek sea salt for Vienna's streets

Vienna's citizens will soon be crunching Greek sea salt beneath their feet rather than the usual Austrian variety after city officials were forced to change salt suppliers. The city department responsible for distributing salt onto the city's snow-covered streets in winter, the MA48, has used the same Austrian salt supplier each year, the Salinen AG, but following serious delivery problems they were forced to change to one who deals in Greek sea salt. The distribution of salt costs enormous amounts of money with thousands of tons of salt being poured out onto the streets. http://www.wien.gv.at
