Energy partnerships and reduction in bureaucracy: How the auto industry is fighting against de -industrialization - an appeal from Hildegard Müller
VDA President takes care of the future of the automotive industry in Germany
In an interview with the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung", the President of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), Hildegard Müller, expressed her concerns about the future of production in Germany. She warned of a serious location problem that presents the auto industry with great challenges.
According to Müller, some works can only be kept in Germany because money is earned at foreign locations. Investments in Germany could only increase about one percent of medium -sized companies in industry. This is a clear signal that something has to be done to make Germany more attractive.
The VDA President emphasized that it was important to reduce energy costs, to secure raw materials and to reduce bureaucracy in order to overcome the current challenges. However, she regretted regret that the EU was building new bureaucratic hurdles and committed to special paths, such as the supply chain law. In its opinion, the Federal Government must exert more pressure on Brussels to complete energy partnerships with other countries and to advance trade agreements.
Müller particularly demanded energy partnerships with Africa, the Middle East and Latin America as well as the conclusion of important contracts with countries such as India, Mexico and the Mercosur Association. She warned that the EU may block important contracts due to small things or self -interest.
In view of the hard international competition, Müller also asked the question of whether it was appropriate in this situation to talk about reduction in working hours or increases in a strong wage increase. She emphasized that the automotive industry in Germany could continue to build good cars, but the framework conditions are of great importance.In order to maintain the jobs in Germany in the long term, the VDA President asked politics to make the right decisions and to support industry appropriately.
The statements by Hildegard Müller underline the urgent need that moderate costs, efficient bureaucracy and good trade relationships are a priority for the German automotive industry. Only through these measures can the industry remain competitive and workplaces are preserved in the long term.
