Figures on the new Land Transactions Act in the province of Salzburg are available for the first time. 65 grassland deals were rejected. However, it is already clear that the law needs to be improved.

Dubious sales of agricultural land such as the Hinterlehen estate in Saalfelden, secret second homes and proceedings against land transfer commissions led to a new land transfer law in Salzburg last year. Now - as stipulated in the law - the first annual balance sheet has been drawn up.
