“A horror catalogue for the economy”

Handelsblatt

In a position paper seen by Handelsblatt, the council says that the implementation of the current draft would “further set in stone the German special national path in climate policy and massively promote divestments as well as the creeping deindustrialisation of Germany as an industry location”.
