- From important conversations between Sigmar Gabriel and the heads of Edeka and Kaiser’s Tengelmann there are no logs – thereby each meeting is usually meticulously documented
- This neglect has meant that the Court of Appeal Gabriels.
- has ministerial approval for Edeka-Tengelmann fusion overridden. Some speculate now already with a Zerschlangung of Kaiser’s Tengelmann empire.
Sigmar Gabriel and his officials should have been warned. Would have to ensure that everything is in order, to the smallest detail. As the Minister of Economic Affairs has examined whether the supermarket chains Edeka and Tengelmann should go together against the clear vote of the Bundeskartellamt, a short report from the Bundestag was before long. The Scientific Services of Parliament had specially written for this case, a political decision of the Minister to leave court in principle not attack. In principle – but procedural error had indeed checked
Just such failures are the ones who now criticizes the in these cases always competent Higher Regional Court (OLG) Dusseldorf.. Ironically, in the case of Edeka / Tengelmann we went to search from SZ , WDR and NDR in Gabriels departmental hemdsärmelig as rare; in a manner that is difficult to understand. The cause to suspect that was sloppy and sloppy. The resulted that the OLG informed the ministerial approval for a merger overridden. The Vice Chancellor, Minister of Economic Affairs and SPD leader Gabriel now seriously brings into trouble. Because many such internal processes show, is difficult to explain.
In the files are missing important protocols
Ironically, by one of the most important discussions in this process, there is no protocol. On 1 December 2015, Gabriel met only with Edeka CEO Markus Mosa and then with Karl-Erivan Haub, the chief of Kaiser’s Tengelmann to talk about the conditions for a de facto acquisition of Tengelmann. But in the files found to nothing: A note on the Mosa futures lie “not before” the Ministry had to admit later when Edeka competitor Rewe asked for the documents had
Tengelmann owner Haub. early and vehemently urged to make an appointment with Gabriel, to convince him of the advantages presented by a merger with Edeka. Its supermarket chain assume “that you will contact us if you should intend requirements, so we can not carry the consequences of requirements in mind,” had Haub written on 26 August 2015, Gabriel. Rewe adversary in turn put an offer before that would have an SPD man actually need like: jobs should get instead are deleted; Unions should get more influence. Haub but known, has reservations Rewe
That was the position, Gabriel then on 1 December 2015. successively met with the heads of Edeka and Tengelmann -. Without the minutes, who would record can what has been discussed in detail. This circumstance is noticeable
The Edeka -Tengelmann fusion is an embarrassment for all concerned
usually is meticulously documented every meeting
For years, almost everything is documented in the Ministry, making the department head or should know. An example of the June 2014: At that time, Gabriel sat together with the auto industry. Just four weeks later, on July 7, 2014 the Minister received through official channels a four-sided “information document” about this event. “Your dinner on 10 June 2014 with the top representatives of the automotive industry (manufacturers, suppliers, VDA president) was the prelude to an industry dialogue,” it said.
Gabriel Officers stopped meticulously specify which “concrete steps “are planned between the economy Ministry and the industry. Five packages of measures and some more. Conscientiously they listed on the opportunities and limits of such a dialogue. And as always happens actually to appointments with CEOs. Question to the Ministry of Economy: But why the meeting of December 1, 2015 has not been documented in writing? Answer of the Ministry: “A protocol was not necessary.”
