The chairman of the Association of Friends of the German-Polish European National Park Lower Oder Valley, Thomas Berg explains:
Schwedt must become a center for the use of renewable raw materials
Schwedt and the Lower Oder Valley national park region have a good chance of developing into a center for renewable raw materials. The city of Schwedt, the district of Uckermark and the Brandenburg Ministry of Economics must make full use of these opportunities.
Last but not least, there is a considerable amount of biomass on nature conservation areas, which can be used either in biogas plants or thermally in Schwedt industrial companies. This opens up new forms of coöperation between business and nature conservation in the national park region.
The Schwedt economic policy must not concentrate unilaterally on economically unjustified traffic route construction measures. Here one unnecessarily produces the defeats of tomorrow today, because the rest of the republic will not be ready in the long run to finance expensive, later but unused and unused traffic routes for Schwedt without economic necessity. More important are pioneering industrial technologies that go well with a paper and chemical site in Schwedt. The markets and locations are currently being distributed. Schwedt could and should play in the first division.
