The new regulation requires that if more than 45% of the products are non domestic, they cannot be labelled as domestic products.

In this way, "Made in Germany" (made in Germany) may only be labeled as "Made in China" (made in China) or "Made by BMW" (BMW producer).

The German Federation of industry and Commerce (DIHK) is worried that the move will "pose a new obstacle to the European economy's entry into the international commodity system" and will "seriously affect German exports".

Germany's export-oriented economy is heavily dependent on exports, and more than 1 million 300 thousand certificates of origin are produced annually for export.

Bernard, chairman of the German Association of foreign trade wholesalers, said in an interview with the Commercial Daily that all products, as long as the last and most important processing and production processes were completed in Germany, should be marked "made in Germany".

"Made in Germany" does not mean that the components of the product come from Germany, but the assurance and credibility of product quality inspection, which is not related to the parts and components used.
