According to online Bild here, Germany’s Federal Agriculture Minister, Cem Özdemir, (Green Party) has recently proposed a consumption tax on meat. He calls this tax “animal welfare cents”.
Özdemir sent a framework paper to the coalition government where he recommends a consumer tax on meat.
“The main aim is to generate tax revenue for agricultural and food policy projects. Özdemir sees this step as an opportunity to financially support important projects in the field of sustainable agriculture,” reports Blackout News here. “In particular, meat, meat products, edible offal and processed products containing a certain proportion of these products are to be taxed.”
Food inflation was at double digit rates over much of the past 2 years, and a meat tax will only further exacerbate the inflationary spiral. Germany’s policy on energy has made energy there among the most expensive in the world, and has led to a series of price increases through the entire supply chain.
“A few cents per kilo”
The planned amount of the meat tax remains unknown, but the talk has been of a modest amount in the range of “a few cents per kilo.”
Özdemir “wants it to do long-term good for agriculture and the environment” and he “views the levy as an important investment in the future.”

Miele moving to Poland
German manufacturing giant Miele has announced it is laying off thousands of jobs in Germany and relocating positions to Poland due to the deteriorating financial climate in Europe’s powerhouse economy.
The household and commercial appliances maker informed employees at several production sites across Germany on Tuesday that up to 2,000 jobs are to be cut as part of tough austerity measures in a company restructuring — as many as 700 other positions could also be moved to neighboring Poland.
“The Miele Group has also felt the effects of the global collapse in demand for household appliances and the drastic price increases on the cost side,” the company explained in a statement issued on Tuesday. It added the move to cut up to 10 percent of its workforce in Germany was “inevitable.”
“What we are currently experiencing is not a temporary dip in the economy, but rather a lasting change in the framework conditions relevant to us that we have to adapt to,” the company added.
It cited higher inflation as a factor affecting procurement of materials and energy, and said the restructuring was part of a wider business plan to save €500 million in expenditure by 2026.
