As a lesson from the corona pandemic, the Prime Ministers advise on greater independence for Europe from the world market in key areas. In a resolution proposal from North Rhine-Westphalia for the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK) meeting in Königswinter, it says literally: "The joint efforts are to be directed towards establishing complete supply chains in Europe in the medium term in crisis and system-relevant sectors."
Königswinter - The promotion of domestic production should therefore "refer to other crisis and system-relevant goods as well as key technologies beyond the health sector", according to the draft agreed by the heads of state chancellery (status: October 21), which is available to the German press agency .
In addition to other topics, it is to be discussed this Friday.
The Prime Ministers can also adopt other versions of all items on the agenda.
