The Taxi and Rental Car Association Germany e.V. (TMV) is part of the Economic Warning Day action alliance, to which over 100 industry associations and business initiatives from all sectors and regions are calling for. It draws attention to the current dangers and challenges for Germany as a business location. The goal is to alarm everyone that the focus of the election campaign and the subsequent formation of the government is directed towards a policy that brings Germany back to economic strength.

For TMV President Thomas Kroker and TMV Chief Executive Officer Patrick Meinhardt, this Economic Warning Day with its 10-point demand catalog is of central importance:

"The taxi and rental car industry stands here together with other industry associations to make it clear how important economic policy and especially small business policy will be in the coming years. Only with such networks can we set our topics. And since we are jointly fighting for infrastructure initiatives and more financial leeway for infrastructure measures over the next four years in substantive positions, the foundations are also being laid here for an increase in regionalization funds, for public transport and inclusion taxis, and for a technology-open expansion of drives and comprehensive supply offerings."

In the joint declaration on the homepage www.wirtschaftswarntag.de, which the 100 associations drafted together with the organizing project group consisting of DIE FAMILIENUNTERNEHMER e.V., the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry e.V., the Federal Association of Wholesale, Foreign Trade, Services e.V., and the "Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM)", it states:

"The German economy is shrinking. Domestic companies are relocating. International investors are staying away. We are rapidly losing attractiveness as a location. The situation is serious. We are at an economic tipping point and are losing economic substance as massively as never before."

```

Politics must finally understand the extent of the crisis and act decisively. That is why they are calling for an economic warning day! This is a wake-up call for politics to take necessary measures and ensure the economic stability of our country.

"That is why associations and companies from all over Germany are calling for a nationwide economic warning day - with numerous actions on site and a central rally in Berlin. What is important to us: We are non-partisan. Therefore, no parties or party-affiliated business associations are part of the action alliance. Nor will any politicians speak at the rally in Berlin. We address our criticism and demands to everyone in politics who bears responsibility."

And so Thomas Kroker and Patrick Meinhardt also support the action alliance on their homepage with a photo and quote.

Thomas Kroker as President of TMV states:

"Good infrastructure policy finally means a nationwide public transport initiative for everyone and everywhere. And that is only possible with the public transport taxi!"

And Patrick Meinhardt as Chief Executive Officer of TMV writes:

"The taxi and rental car entrepreneurs fight for a strong social market economy, the values of the honorable merchant, and genuine support for small and medium-sized enterprises!"
