75 years of the BGA: urgent call for less bureaucracy in the trade
At a grandiose ceremony in Berlin, which celebrated the 75th birthday of the Federal Association of Wholesale, Foreign Trade, Services (BGA), Dr. Dirk Jandura, the mighty president of the BGA, haunts to almost 400 listeners from politics and business: "We wholesaler and outdoor dealers finally need less regulation. We need freedom!" This powerful message echoed through the hall when prominent guests such as Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck attended the action.
Jandura could not help but put the finger in the wound: "The framework conditions in this country prevent fair global competition!" And further: "Reporting obligations without end, outdated infrastructure and an EU that cannot keep up in global competition - we have to admit: We dealers keep the country going. But that is not possible without being able to act!"
Scholz praises the middle class
The Chancellor stepped into the ring and congratulated the association for the anniversary. "75 years of success story! This success story was written by millions of women and men who vigorously tackled. Associations like the BGA were an indispensable voice in Berlin and Brussels," emphasized Scholz and concluded with the words: "So the future belongs to us!"
Although the challenges are great, Scholz founds his hope for medium -sized companies: "The medium -sized companies are the backbone of the German economy. They shape our country and drive innovations."
an appeal to politics
Robert Habeck, the Vice Chancellor and Economic Minister, confirmed the key role of trade. "The third largest economic level in Germany has been so adaptable that it was able to maintain the supply chains even in stormy times." But he also made it clear: the community and the economy have to work together to master this challenge.
Finally, finance minister Christian Lindner asked himself the critical questions of the entrepreneurs. "75 years of medium -sized businesses - the foundation of our success," he explained, emphasizing how important entrepreneurial freedom and flexibility are for the supply of the country. "We have to improve the economic framework - fair for everyone, not only for a few," said Lindner.Jens Spahn, deputy parliamentary group leader, had the discussion and called for a rethink: "We need more sovereignty for Germany and Europe! Only in this way we will stay at the head of global trade!" His statement met with approval: the foreign economic environment has changed fundamentally and politics has to react to it!
With 139,000 companies and 50,000 trainees, the BGA is a powerful player in the German economic structure who generates 1.7 trillion euros a day. These figures speak for themselves - the industry is indispensable for the connection between agriculture, craft and retail.
Jandura summarized it: "We bundle the expertise of 38 industry associations. Our goal remains to be the voice of trade and to consider the interests of our members to politics." An appeal that will have a long time in Berlin on this memorable day.
