Press Releases and Statements
Pension package and rising social spending: - 26.06.2025
"Additional social spending is anti-benefit"
The pension package with additional expenditure envisaged by Labor Minister Bas does not solve any of the problems, but rather increases them. Companies and employees need serious structural reforms.
EU reporting obligations for companies: - 25.06.2025
"Reduce red tape, don't water down the omnibus package!"
The EU omnibus package is intended to significantly reduce the bureaucratic burden on companies. Now the package must no longer be torpedoed. Bureaucracy must not become an obstacle to innovation.
Budget plans and investment program: - 24.06.2025
"Providing real economic impetus now!"
Companies now need real economic stimulus such as the investment program. It must no longer be watered down in the negotiations with the federal states.
On the EU-Canada summit in Brussels: - 23.06.2025
"Stop wasting trade opportunities with Canada"
Canada wants to expand its economic partnerships - an opportunity for Europe. It is crucial that the CETA free trade agreement is finally implemented in full.
