Recently Ülo Mallene wrote an article, where he likened oniomania with religion and thought that the regulation of Estonian retail business is only based on mass consumption and pragmatical use. He complains that we are one of the few countries in the EU, where the grand stores are opened till 23 p.m and are not closed on the weekends and on the national and religious holidays.
Unlike the rest of the Europe, we don't have strong organized labours, who represent the people of trade. Mallen offers regulating the shops opening times by the Christian pattern as a solution to the problem- it gives a splendid opportunity to the shoppers to spend their time more rationaly.
Siret agrees with Mallen, concerning the better organized labours, but she believes that the opening times of the shops are not ment to tempt the people of trade. They are shapen beacuse of consumer's demand. Furthermore the Christian percentage is not as high as in the rest of the Europe. She thinks that Mallen's idea would be a violaition of descretion and obtrusion of the Christian policy.
Siret is on the opinion that we don't have to do everything likewise the others. So what if we differ from rest of the Christian Europe because of it- let it be our peculiarity.

i disagree with siret. At the moment we are consuming a lot of things, what we don't need. Closing the supermarkets on. Sunday is the right action.
is't that a bit extreme?I mean the part about closing the supermarkets on Sundays.
isn't*
