Siemens Energy appoints economist Veronika Grimm to the supervisory board. The other members of the Advisory Council for assessing overall economic development fear conflicts of interest.
Grimm told SPIEGEL that she had the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Chancellery check in advance whether the board mandate was compatible with her role as an energy expert. No problems were seen here either, said the chairman of the SEAG supervisoryBoard Joe Kaeser, who admitted the nomination proposal caused a stir.
