Ver.di has a clear recommendation for the mediation committee. Tax breaks for companies are "a wrong path," says Ver.di leader Frank Werneke.

Law provides tax relief for companies until 2028 and an acceleration of approval processes. The volume of relief in the mediation process is expected to fall from the planned seven billion euros annually to three billion euros. The Union, which has sided with the farmers in recent weeks, is also making its approval of the law dependent on a reversal of the planned abolition of agricultural diesel subsidies.
