Really? This needed to be commemorated on a stamp?

Just came across this stamp while preparing listings for my HipStamp store. Was 1985 just a lean year for finding subjects to commemorate, in Austria? Was there a public outcry to give registration labels their due recognition? If you are on the Austrian stamp selection advisory board, how do you recommend this subject with a straight face?

Austria, Scott Nr 1306 (1985)

Yup, it must have been a slow stamp year.

Stamp issues like this often have some powerful proponent.
