Shoving this into Bablefish results in a slightly different spin than
you put on it.
The German Finance Minister is closing out some tax loopholes in
investment into Ship Funds, Closed Real estate funds and "medium funds"
which is (i'm assuming) where investment into films falls.
Seems to say that investment into something they are pretty sure will
lose money will not be allowed as a tax write off anymore, and that is
certainly going to scupper Uwe getting any more investments from
Germans.
It doesn't in any way imply that Uwe ever got funds from the German
Government though.
