La SPD richiede il requisito del “Compra europeo” per gli appalti pubblici

German corporations are increasingly relocating qualified jobs abroad. SPD economic expert Sebastian Roloff is therefore calling for a discussion on „Buy-European“ rules. IG Metall is also alarmed.

The economic policy spokesman of the SPD-Federal parliamentary group, Sebastian Roloff, sees a need for action to secure qualified jobs in Germany. „We have long seen that not only simple but also increasingly highly qualified activities are being relocated abroad“, said Bundestag member WELT AM SONNTAG. He sees the need for a debate on „Buy European“ specifications in the context of public procurement and for critical and security-relevant areas.

„It does not strengthen our resilience if we receive production capacity for these areas, but new dependencies arise, for example in research and development“, said Roloff.

The union also stated that it is watching „with concern“ „that jobs are increasingly being relocated to other countries not only in production but also in areas such as research and development or administration.“

Since the beginning of February alone, several groups have announced plans to relocate administrative activities, particularly to India, including the chemical company BASF, the insurer Ergo and the supplier group Knorr-Bremse. The car manufacturer Mercedes also plans to outsource tasks from headquarters to service providers in low-wage countries. Several automotive suppliers also want to cut jobs in research and development.

SPD has no say. It’s the BlackRock alumnus that has the say. And it is the Goldman Sachs alumnus that leads the popular poll.

And if you think that this developed naturally with no foreign intelligence push, I have some snake oil for sale. It’s very effective.

Does that mean Trump is right ?

Ehh, this kinda thing leads to shitty inefficient companies blowing through public money for bad products because they have X certificate that the competitors don’t. Its basically just a way for rich people to extract tax dollars from the government.

I would much rather see policies directed towards EU products being more competitive with the Asian slop we currently get.
