Dr. Rainer Dulger, Employer President
I want this country to remain successful, innovative and prosperous.
And to achieve this, politicians must finally focus on Germany as a business location and our competitiveness.
Issue 14/25:
A legacy that obliges: In memory of Margot Friedländer
"The central memorial service for Margot Friedländer took place recently - an impressive woman who, as a Holocaust survivor, worked tirelessly against anti-Semitism and for a tolerant, liberal, democratic society until the very end. Her legacy is both a mission and an obligation," said BDA Managing Director Kampeter in the statement. Strengthening personal responsibility in long-term care insurance is the topic of the week. In the guest commentary of the week, Nordmetall President Folkmar Ukena calls for fewer administrative regulations and in the interview of the week, BDA Managing Director Steffen Kampeter warns against exploding social security contributions.
You can read about these and other topics in the current BDA agenda.
