Saarland is launching important initiatives in the Federal Council!

In a dramatic meeting of the Federal Council on November 22, 2024, the Saarland brought four decisive initiatives! According to the inaugural speech by the new Federal Council President Anke Rehlinger, the topics were on the agenda, which could significantly influence the future of the state and Germany. Among the burning questions, the hospital care improvement law, which is of the greatest importance in the current health crisis.

A central concern of the Saarland is the demand for faster and more comprehensive support for the federal government in regional major damage events, such as the devastating Pentecost flood. The Initiative aims to ensure that federal aid is not only provided after a national catastrophe has been determined. "Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common, and the countries cannot do the damage alone," emphasized Saar Environment Minister Petra Berg. In addition, a fund is to be set up that helps affected countries and a model for compulsory insurance against elementary damage.

The Saarland initiative to secure Germany business location focuses on the automotive and supplier industry, which ensures over 770,000 jobs. In order to design change into sustainable drive technologies, the Saarland calls for an early review of the EU decision to ban new cars for petrol and diesel vehicles. "We have to design this change in such a way that there is no structural breaks," warned the Saarland government and called for the suspension of fines for the automotive industry in 2025.

Another important point is consumer protection: the Saarland wants to mark foggy packs in order to proceed against "shrink flation" and "ski plant". The initiative for the introduction of a federal tariff regulator law was also supported in order to strengthen the collective bargaining in challenging times. These initiatives are not only politically relevant, but could also have far -reaching consequences for consumers and the economy.
