Volltext: Liechtenstein and the German tax affair:

5.3.2 Communication measures by Liechtenstein 
The Liechtenstein Government has only little information in the first four days of the crisis. 
Information on the current situation is gleaned from media reports, information provided by 
the affected banks LGT and LLB, and internal specialized offices. 
The Government and the Government Spokesperson's Office therefore see their first task as 
obtaining as much comprehensive information as possible, especially from LGT. 
In the first four days of the crisis, from Thursday, 14 February, to Sunday, 17 February, the 
issue is primarily the "Kieber case" and the "Zumwinkel affair", which primarily affects LGT 
Bank. The strategy of the first few days therefore rests on two pillars: 
1. Collect as extensive information as possible in order to conduct a situation analysis. 
2. Respond to all media inquiries directly, thereby signaling openness, transparency and 
professionalism to the media. 
This turns out to be very helpful, since Liechtenstein 1s always accused of "secretiveness" and 
"erecting a wall of silence". 
In the first few days, Liechtenstein did not conduct any press conferences or issue any press 
releases, but the following table lists the interviews and background talks that the Government 
engaged in during this phase.
