German Prostitutes Get Pensions POTSDAM, Germany (AP) - Prostitutes would be able to claim state pension and health benefits under a draft bill to be introduced next year in parliament, a German official said. Prostitution is classified in Germany as a legal but immoral trade. The proposal would remove the ``immoral' classification, Family Minister Christine Bergmann told the Maerkische Allgemeine newspaper in an interview published Friday. ``With that, prostitutes should receive the possibility of social coverage,' she said. She said she will introduce the bill early next year. Under German law, prostitutes are required to pay taxes but can't claim the social welfare state's generous benefits. Bergmann said the bill also could make it possible for prostitutes to sue customers who don't pay, and might lift the ban that makes promoting prostitution illegal. ``In principle it would be welcome if prostitutes could sign work contracts,' she said. But a change in the law, she added, should not lead to a situation ``where the pimps profit above all.'
