Exportstark, innovationsreich, qualitativ hochwertig – Deutschland steht mit stetigem positiven Wirtschaftswachstum und soliden Staatsfinanzen an der Spitze Europas. Doch Europa steht an einer Wegscheide: Noch immer haben die EU-Mitglieds- länder in der Vergangenheit Lösungen für zukunftsweisende Fragen gefunden – für die Bewältigung der Wirtschaftskrise 2009, bei der Finanzmarktregulierung und der EU-Schuldenkrise, bis hin zur Griechenlandkrise. Doch an der Flüchtlingskrise kann Europa zerbrechen. Immer häufiger werden fest vereinbarte und gemeinsam geglaubte Werte in Frage gestellt. Die Länder Ost- und Südosteuropas kündigen faktisch das Schengen-Abkommen auf, und Großbritannien steht vor einer Volks- abstimmung über den Verbleib in der EU. Die EU-Schuldenkrise ist noch keinesfalls gelöst, und die Geldpolitik der EZB wird immer mehr zum Risiko, weil sie den Reformdruck auf die Krisenländer reduziert. Notwendig ist stattdessen eine überzeugen- de Agenda für Wachstum, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Stabilität, den EU-Binnenmarkt im Bereich der Dienstleistungen und der Digitalen Wirtschaft zu vollenden, die Arbeitsmärkte weiter zu flexibilisieren sowie ein vollumfängliches Freihandels- abkommen mit den USA abzuschließen. Wir sollten alle Kräfte bündeln, um die Europäische Idee wieder mit Leben zu füllen, statt in die Nationalstaaterei abzurutschen. Die internationalen Aufgaben dürfen zugleich die notwendige wirtschaftspolitische Erneuerung in Deutschland nicht über- decken. Im Herbst 2015 ging die Legislaturperiode der Großen Koalition in ihre zweite Halbzeit: Beschäftigungsrekord, Haus- haltsüberschüsse und verbesserte Konjunkturprognosen geben Anlass zur Freude und haben die Lebenssituation der Men- schen in unserem Land kurzfristig verbessert.

    Germany seeking to buy 30 mn Sputnik doses from Russia 22 April 2021 said it had started talks with Russia about purchasing doses of the Sputnik vaccine without waiting for coordinated EU action. Health Minister Jens Spahn said Europe's biggest economy was seeking a "binding commitment on which amounts specifically could reach Germany after regulatory approval and when". The negotiations come as the two countries are at loggerheads over issues including repeated Russian cyberattacks against the West, the Kremlin's treatment of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and escalating tensions on the Ukraine border.

Mit inzwischen 39 Weltkulturerbestätten gehört Deutschland zu den fünf auf der Welterbeliste am stärksten vertretenen Staaten. Mit dem Prädikat „Weltkulturerbe“ stellen die Vertragsstaaten ihr Kulturerbe be- wusst in einen universellen Kontext und verzichten damit auf eine nur nationale In- anspruchnahme.

  • The German Bundesrat
    THE GERMAN BUNDESRAT Last updated on 04/05/2021 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/relnatparl [email protected] Photo credits: German Bundesrat 1. AT A GLANCE The German Basic Law stipulates clearly that "the Federal Republic of Germany is a democratic and social federal state" and that "except as otherwise provided or permitted by this Basic Law, the exercise of state powers and the discharge of state functions is a matter for the Länder". The Bundesrat has a total of 69 full Members and the same number of votes. The Bundesrat is composed of Members of Länder governments and not of directly elected Members. Since elections in the 16 German Länder take place at different times, the political composition and the majority in the Bundesrat often changes. It is in fact the executive power of the Länder, which is represented in the Bundesrat. The Länder governments do not need a formal parliamentary mandate for their voting behaviour for individual acts in the Bundesrat. 2. COMPOSITION Land Population, m Minister-President Votes Parties in government Winfried Kretschmann Baden-Württemberg 11.10 6 Grüne/CDU (Greens-EFA/EPP) (Grüne/Greens-EFA) Bayern 13.12 Markus Söder (CSU/EPP) 6 CSU (EPP)/Freie Wähler Berlin 3.66 Michael Müller (SPD/S&D) 4 SPD/Die Linke/Grüne (S&D/The Left/Greens-EFA) Dietmar Woidke Brandenburg 2.50 4 SPD/CDU/Grüne (S&D/EPP/Greens-EFA) (SPD/S&D) Bremen 0.68 Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD/S&D) 3 SPD/Grüne/Die Linke (S&D/Greens-EFA/The Left ) Hamburg 1.85 Peter Tschentscher, (SPD/S&D) 3 SPD/Grüne (S&D/Greens-EFA) Hessen 6.29 Volker
