FT: German business angry aggressive rhetoric of the authorities in the address of the Russian Federation
The number of German businessmen emphasize overly aggressive policy of the German authorities in relation to Russia and I am afraid that before good relations with Russian partners have the opportunity never to recover, says.
anxiety in the German business environment is increasing due to the fact that the rhetoric about Russia increasingly tougher, when you take off the punishment cannot predict none. German businessmen hoped that the Russian Federation and the European Union will quickly resolve disagreements in the Ukrainian question, but in the present confrontation between the parties increases and cancellation penalties more and more it seems " impossible dream ", says the magazine.
" punishment will be in force. We will not be able to refuse them. Rather, they will be even tougher, " the FT quoted the opinion of the head of the Federal Association of wholesale and foreign trade Germany (BGA) Anton b?rner.
Concerns the question of what place the Germans on the Russian market will take players from other countries also are magnified. For example, businessmen Germany believe that their Russian partners in the future will be willing to cooperate with China.
" There is a risk that this effect (from the punishment - approx. Ed.) will not be temporary. Organizations are worried that they will be very difficult to get back to their seats and, most likely, still they will eventually be lost, " the magazine gives the opinion of the General Director of group of companies Russia Consulting Ulf Schneider.
punishment undoubtedly counterproductive for Germany, as Russia is its main financial partner in the European Union, and trade and economic ties with Moscow largely depends on the stability of the economy of Germany.
" Russia and Germany were in a good relationship. The government in its policy too against Russia, " the FT quoted the Executive Director of the organization IKA Reinhard Bek.
However, as underlined by the magazine, There are those who support the current policy of the authorities in the Ukrainian question, However it is impossible not to take into account that the decrease in the volume of trade with Russia now has a negative impact on different sectors of the German economy and the future punishment have the opportunity to inflict more damage.
