“Industry demands fast coal dialogue”
Handelsblatt
An association of large companies including Deutsche Bahn, Telekom and Aida Cruises is calling for a timely start to the “dialogue about a coal consensus”, writes Silke Kersting in Handelsblatt.

A coal dialogue would provide the planning security needed for the energy industry and the basis for investment and innovation capacities, boosting the competitiveness of the economy as a whole, according to the declaration.
