“Currently, providers from Eastern Europe are aggressively pushing onto the market”

>>Main-Tip<<“At present, providers from Eastern Europe are aggressively entering the market, according to Intersnack. This is one reason why they decided to close the plant in Krieschow near Cottbus. Another are the exceptionally high logistics costs that are to be paid for the connection of the location. “The work could no longer work economically for several reasons,” they say.”

“The work could no longer work economically for several reasons”The competition from Eastern Europe can of course produce at completely different costs and for several reasons.Competition from Eastern Europe can produce at different costsGermany is increasing –As the only country in the world– from coal-fired power: This not only leads to high electricity costs, but also draws a whole cascade of negative consequences behind it. Electricity prices are constantly rising, while at the same time security of supply is falling. Among them, the processing industry and thus also many medium-sized companies in particular haveand small business owners– to suffer. but that’s not all, under thatkeyword: “Measures of the load or demand side management“The federal government openly announces, at “power bottlenecks” to many energy-intensive companies simply to the electricityunclasp. – Partly this will beimplemented.

Eastern Europe: “The standard of living is increasing”TheNet wagesin Poland are now at a similar level as in Lusatia. Because the economic development in Poland is increasing the demand for labour and thus also wages. In addition, Poland directly targets new investors, and the country has an extensive network of special economic zones.> Special economic zones in Poland

Low electricity prices and a reliable energy supply are decisive factors for the location, especially for industry. Therefore, it seems rather questionable how in such an environment –in Lusatia– new jobs are to be created?
