The industry appreciates the commitment to reducing bureaucracy and the direction of tax policy. However, it urges the new government to provide more specific details and swift action.

In the realm of sustainability, the industry calls for a balanced approach to low-emission products, warning against hasty decisions. It also sees the coalition agreement as a crucial first step in Germany's economic and political revival.

Key aspects welcomed include the support for multifunctional forests, land use protection, and continued funding for agricultural and climate protection initiatives. The improved depreciation of equipment investments and the reduction in corporation tax, albeit delayed until 2028, are also positively received.

The industry pledges its commitment to sustainability but emphasizes the need for appropriate framework conditions to maintain long-term competitiveness.

The Paper Industry association's evaluation of the coalition agreement is largely positive, with several aspects aligning with its priorities. However, it underscores the need for concrete measures and timely implementation to ensure the industry's continued success and sustainability.
