GERMANY-ECONOMY-TRADITIONS-MERKEL
German Chancellor Angela Merkel gestures as she is flanked by Arcelor Mittal Indian CEO Lakshmi Mittal (R) and Michael Grobien, chairman of the German Maritime Rescue Service (DGzRS) 09 February 2007 during the traditional so-called "Schaffermahl" (or Schaffermahlzeit) in Bremen, northern Germany. The "Schaffermahl" is a traditional fraternity dinner for ships' captains, ship owners, and merchants held every year on the second Friday of February since 1545. The original purpose of the meal is to gather donations to support retired sailors and their families. Merkel is the first woman to make a speech during the event.
