On May 18, the Transatlantic Aerospace and Defense Committee met with Ulf Zumkley and Dr. Christian Stursberg, Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs, Abteilung IV A 4, Sicherheits- und Verteidigungsindustrie, to discuss the Federal Government’s “Position Paper on Strengthening the Defense Industry in Germany”. Main topics included the consolidation of the European defense industries, a common export control system as well as measures to strengthen transatlantic defense projects. Representatives of AmCham Germany’s member companies criticized inconsistencies in Germany’s export control regime and called for a more coherent and more predictable application of existing criteria.
