No new reporting obligations and a reliable focus on industry. Politicians must communicate this.&#8221; According to the WSM Executive Committee, the lack of presence in the election campaign affects all parties: &#8220;The EU elections are becoming a side issue &#8211; that&#8217;s a missed opportunity!&#8221;  <\/p>\n<h4>WSM calls for a brilliant final spurt<\/h4>\n<p>  Future industrial competitiveness is a priority for the new WSM Executive Committee. Both are experienced entrepreneurs: Flatken is managing partner of the Mecanindus-Vogelsang Group, while von der Crone heads FR. u. H. L\u00fcling GmbH &amp; Co KG. They are now demanding a brilliant final spurt from the parties. They should show presence and communicate goals. &#8220;People vote because they want to help shape things. But they can&#8217;t do that if they don&#8217;t know the content. So they don&#8217;t vote,&#8221; fears Ulrich Flatken. &#8220;All politicians must make it clear what their EU candidacy stands for. This is the only way to achieve an industrial policy that helps voters and employees,&#8221; adds Christian von der Crone.
