Headline: This Hypocritical Law Harms Germany as a Business Location

WELT (German daily newspaper) from February 8, 2023

On the contrary, writes Foundation Executive Board Member Prof. Rainer Kirchdörfer in a guest contribution in "Welt" (German daily newspaper). The law weakens trade relations, particularly with developing countries, and harms Germany and the EU as business locations.
