German Angst: Mad Cows and Depleted Uranium
At mid-term of the legislation period German chancellor Gerhard Schröder has already lost seven ministers of his cabinet starting in fall 1998. The latest were the minister of sanity Andrea Fischer (Greens) and the minister for agriculture Karl-Heinz Funke (SPD) who resigned in January amid the mishandling of the crisis following the cases of Mad Cow Disease (BSE) found in Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein. As a consequence of the news about ill cattle found all over Western Europe, worried consumers have almost stopped buying beef. Schröder has reacted to the crisis nominating two new ministers, among them Renate Künast (Greens), responsible for consumer protection and agriculture, who will try to introduce a new kind of natural agriculture in Germany. Unfortunately for Schröder there are other ministers at risk, first of all foreign minister Joschka Fischer, a Green, who has been questioned over his past as a street-fighter in Frankfurt in the early 70s. Defense minister Rudolf Scharping (SPD) is much criticized for having exposed his soldiers serving in Kosovo to excessive health risks from uranium-tipped munitions used by U.S. forces. Several NATO peacekeepers have died of leukemia since serving in the Balkans, adding yet another concern to the European agenda.

Germany’s Fiscal Reform: Big Boost for Business
During its last meeting on Friday 14th July in Bonn the Bundesrat has approved the biggest financial reform in German history. The reform bill was prepared by finance minister Hans Eichel, while chancellor Gerhard Schröder did his best to guarantee its passage in parliament. Facing growing pressure from public opinion, the opposition Christian Democrats were not able to block the reform in the chamber of regions. Schröder’s SPD-Greens coalition has lately realized a whole line of important political successes and is now expected to arrive in pole position at the next general elections in 2002. Their chances will even grow, if the fiscal reform works like expected and the economy takes advantage of the new favorable business conditions. The Frankfurt stock exchange and several industry leaders have already given an enthusiastic salute to the reform which will lessen fiscal pressure by 60 billion DM a year. The economic and political consequences of this breakthrough will soon be felt all over the continent, where the competition for the best fiscal favor has just begun.
