A German etiquette group has called for a total ban on work colleagues kissing one another in the office, claiming a peck on the cheek is a form of 'terrorism'.

The German Knigge Society - which translates as etiquette or correct behaviour - said the practice has flourished in offices in recent years.

Women kiss men, men kiss women, usually once, but sometimes twice in the way of the French.

But in a society with more rigorous rules than most, sensibilities have become deeply offended.

Germans can go their whole working lives referring to the person next to them in the formal 'Sie', instead of 'Du', and kissing has become something of a threat to the accepted order.

At school, they are taught to keep a respectful distance when greeting a stranger, to shake their hand and to bow the head just ever so slightly.

Now the Knigge Society has ruled on the issue of office kissing and says it must go.

It claims it has reacted after worried callers who have enquired over recent months about what to do if someone should attempt to kiss them in a greeting.

Hans Michael Klein, chairman of the group, said: 'This is valid immediately. There should be no kissing, at least not in the office.'

Mr Klein said enquiries had flooded into his offices from varied cities including Berlin, Munich and Duesseldorf.

'The suspicion for many remains that there is, or may be, an erotic component to the kissing,' he said.

'Kissing simply gets on the nerves of many at work. It is a form of terror.

'In business the handshake is considered the correct greeting ritual. Stand apart from one another approximately 60cm and shake.'

Any closer, he said, would injure a 'socially defined distance zone'.

He added that while he had respect for the French habit, and that in Russia where men also kiss each other in greeting, this was not the German way and it was an affectation of the 'Schickimicki' set - or the 'in-crowd'.
