German culture

Every nation has its own culture, which affects the way of behavior and thinking of a nation all the time. When it comes to Germany, the first words that come to mind are: rational, rigorous, earnest, punctual, trustworthy, disciplined, etc. In history, Germany is also known as "a country of poets and thinkers". Poets and scholars emerge one after another. Goethe, Schiller, Hlderlin, Heine, Rilke, Thomas Mann and others are representative figures in the history of German literature. In German life, literature, music, art and food are indispensable. Various concerts, food festivals and art exhibitions will be held all over Germany, such as Munich Oktoberfest and Berlin Culture Carnival. German people's love and pursuit of life can be reflected everywhere.

Abide by the rules

Abide by the rules is not simply because the quality of Germans is much higher than that of other nationalities. In Germany, a country that values efficiency, rules and order represent high efficiency in the hearts of German people. On the one hand, they regard the rules as important, on the other hand, they abhor the behaviors that violate the rules and destroy the order. In Germany, if someone runs a red light or jumps in line, the German people will spontaneously fulfill the civic duty of prosecuting and prosecuting those violators. Violators will not only accept fines but also be recorded on their personal credit files. Once a person's files appear disgraceful records, he will encounter great obstacles in finding a job or borrowing money to buy a car or a house.

To be punctual

Punctuality is also a manifestation of German adherence to rules and institutions. In Germany, it is considered rude to be late for an appointment, except under special circumstances. Unlike Chinese people, German people do not use vague time words like "in a while" to describe time. German people's time is accurate to minutes. So the average German would rather be early than late to meet.

Rigor and Excellence

The attention to detail and the rigorous attitude to work also make the Germans leave a deep impression. It is precisely because of the rigor in German culture that German people are meticulous and serious in their work. As for the quality of their products, they should also strive for excellence. Reflected in the corporate culture, is for the product quality and research and development of the high importance. In Germany, the mention of the word "made in Germany", the hearts of Germans will have a sense of pride, because they know that the quality of German products in the world must be the most first-class.

7. Framework: Policies and regulations

7.1 Regulations and policies on foreign trade

7.1.1 Trade authorities

[Management Objectives] The Ministry of Economic Affairs is committed to achieving the following seven management objectives:

(1) To achieve high employment rate in Germany through relevant economic policies;

(2) Support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises;

(3) Promoting scientific and technological innovation to enhance the competitiveness of the German economy;

[Basic structure of Foreign Economic Law] German Foreign Economic Law is divided into four chapters, a total of 52 articles. The specific structure is as follows:

Basic structure of German Foreign Economic Law

 

 

Source: Economic and Commercial Office of the Chinese Embassy in Germany

[The main content of the Foreign Economic Law] The leading idea of the German Foreign Economic Law is to reduce the restrictions on foreign economic activities as much as possible. Article 1 of the law stipulates that "foreign economic exchanges are in principle free". But while recognising this basic principle, the EEA also reserved the right for the German government to intervene in certain circumstances. According to the regulations, the German Government has the right to intervene in its foreign economic activities in the following cases:

(1) Guarantee the performance of obligations under agreements between States;

(2) To prevent or counteract the effects on the German economy of harmful measures taken by foreign countries, including by resisting the inflow of harmful money and capital from abroad;

(3) To prevent or offset the impact of foreign policies that are not in line with the principles of free trade on Germany;

(4) To ensure Germany's national security, diplomatic interests and maintenance of world peace.

In addition, the Foreign Economic Law also stipulates that if the domestic supply of daily necessities is endangered, the export of relevant commodities can be restricted; The export of the commodities concerned may be restricted in order to protect the domestic economy; In order to protect domestic interests, it may restrict trade in services with foreign countries; To ensure a long-term balance of payments, capital transactions with foreign countries can be investigated; In order to protect the stability of the national currency or to maintain the balance of international payments, it can restrict the capital and currency of non-nationals in Germany; May restrict non-domestic people to establish subsidiaries and representative offices in Germany; In order to prevent the inflow of harmful money and capital from foreign countries, it is stipulated that a certain proportion of the loans of domestic people from foreign people must be deposited in an account of the Federal Bank of Germany without interest within a certain period of time, that is, "limited mortgage obligation".

In recent years, Germany has continuously strengthened the review of the merger and acquisition of enterprises from non-EU countries or the participation in German enterprises, and revised the Foreign Economic Law and the Foreign Economic Regulations. See 7.2.3 for details.

7.1.3 Relevant provisions on trade management

Trade between Germany and non-EU countries (third countries) is subject to EU common policy measures, such as common trade, common tariff list, etc. The EU's international trade agreements with third countries apply directly to Germany. The formulation and implementation of a common trade policy are carried out in the Community. All member states grant the same terms of import and export. The Council of the European Union or the Commission establishes trade instruments through directly-applicable regulations, and the Commission is responsible for policy enforcement and conducting anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard investigations.

In principle, Germany does not impose import or export restrictions, but there are import authorization obligations or quantitative restrictions on goods from certain countries. Under Article 36 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the German government is primarily responsible for licensing imports and exports, as well as for imposing restrictions on imports and exports for non-economic reasons, such as the protection of human and animal health.

Germany's trade with outside the EU (known as third party trade) is subject to all the measures and principles of the EU's common trade policy towards third countries, including: The Community Customs Code, the Common Customs Tariff, various non-tariff measures, and a system of bilateral agreements concluded with non-EU member states.

7.1.4 Relevant provisions on import and export inspection and quarantine

The EU technical standards are complex, and the products that the manufacturer (or importer) intends to enter the EU market need to obtain the technical certificate from the EU. Technical harmonization standards are published on the EU Official Journal website, marked by the EN code. Relevant laws and regulations can be found on the website:

ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/harmonise d-standards_en

[Inspection and Quarantine Department] Germany import and export animal and plant inspection and quarantine affairs are mainly responsible by the customs,

Deutschland Customs is an independent business department under the Federal Ministry of Finance of Germany, which adopts a three-level vertical management model. The highest federal administrative department is the third department of the Federal Ministry of Finance, and the second level administrative department is the Federal State Expensive Spirits Management Committee, under which there are five cross-state federal financial agencies and the Customs Criminal Investigation Bureau. The third level administrative bodies are the regional Customs General Administration, the Customs Anti-Inspection Bureau and the Customs.

In order to prevent harmful animals and plants and some infectious viruses and bacteria from entering Germany, Germany strictly implements the relevant laws and regulations of the EU within the framework of the EU.

Plants: EU Regulation on the entry of plants into the EU. Specific content please consult the German federal economic crops research institute website: pflanzengesundheit. Julius - kuehn. DE /

7.1.5 Customs management rules and regulations

[Customs tariff] The European Community customs tax system is applicable in Germany. The tariff table includes agreed rates, applicable to WTO Members or countries that have entered into most-favoured-nation agreements with the Community. Some products (mainly foodstuffs) adopt autonomous tariffs in the tariff table, which are not bound by MFN treatment and WTO obligations.

The Community tariff rates for the following year are published in the Official Gazette of the EU at the end of October each year. There are general

 

 

 

ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/taric_consultation.jsp

Enter the customs code for the item and it will display the tariff rate and other relevant information, such as customs

Tax quota, quantity limit, tariff suspension, anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty, agricultural duty, regulatory conditions and other foreign trade policy measures for the products. TARIC does not contain VAT or GST information.

The EU members offer one-way preferential tariff policies to developing countries

Agreed tariffs and the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries, as well as reciprocal arrangements under the framework of free-trade agreements (e.g., EFTA countries, Mexico, Chile, South Africa).

GSP Tariffs General System of Preferences The beneficiaries of the GSP include 178 countries and regions. The original GSP applied until the end of 2008. Since the beginning of 2006, the European Union has begun to adjust the GSP to cover the vast majority of less developed countries, especially small, island, landlocked and relatively small economies

For a single country. In addition, the GSP also simplifies the "graduation mechanism". If imports of a particular category of products from a country exceed 15 per cent of imports from all GSP beneficiaries, the country's GSP eligibility will be revoked and special preferences will no longer be granted on access to the European market. The cancellation standard for textiles and clothing was reduced to 12.5 per cent. Under the new mechanism, although China is still formally a beneficiary of the GSP, about 80% of the products exported from China to the EU market do not enjoy the GSP policy. And the products imported from India, except the textile raw materials exceed the standard will no longer enjoy preferential treatment, its clothing products can still enjoy the universal preferential policy.

The GSP also provides additional tariff preferences for countries that have concluded higher-level trade agreements with the EU, including environmental provisions, social provisions on human and Labour rights, and good governance provisions

(GSP Plus). The Additional Generalization Scheme ensures that 91% of the products covered in the tariff can enter the EU market duty-free. At present, 15 countries are benefiting from the program: five Andean countries (Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela); six Central American countries (Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and El Salvador); and Georgia and Mozambique

Dorva, Mongolia and Sri Lanka.

For the least developed countries (LDC), duty-free and quota-free access to EU markets for "all commodities except arms" would apply, with the exception of certain agricultural products (such as sugar, rice and bananas), for which import tariffs would be progressively reduced. Preferential tariff policies follow rules of origin. For more information, see ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business_en

[Customs Code] The German customs law system consists of directly applicable European Union laws and the national Customs

Law and supporting regulations. The Community Customs Code is the basic law in the field of EU customs law, and the national laws are the supplement and refinement of the Community Customs Code.

Goods entering the German customs zone are under customs control. Unless otherwise specified, import goods shall be declared at a customs office or other places permitted or designated by the customs office. Goods subject to customs formalities shall be declared.

On 31 August 2007, the first phase of the EU Export Surveillance System (ECS) was launched. Customs people

/ Exporters can use the ECS system at the customs office of the place of export or at the customs office of the place of final exit

Make an electronic declaration. Export customs sends an electronic confirmation to the customs declarer, which replaces the SAD3 card and confirms that the goods have been exported in accordance with VAT regulations. The ECS system ensures that administrative authorities can effectively conduct customs supervision, and exporters can process export documents more quickly and apply for zero export tax rates. The second phase of the ECS system began on 1 July 2009, with the adoption of electronic export customs declaration forms by the ECS system throughout the EU. Paper documents will be allowed only in emergency cases.

[Non-Tariff Restrictions] Germany applies Community non-tariff measures, including anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguard measures, quantitative restrictions and import and export bans. EU law allows Member States to use prohibitions, restrictions or regulations on imports, exports and transit in order to protect social morality and safety, human health and life, flora and fauna, national treasures of artistic history or archaeological value, or to protect commercial and intellectual property rights, provided that the measures do not constitute discrimination or disguised restrictions.

Quota management is within the competence of the European Union, and the task of the German administration is to obtain quota information from the European Commission and issue import licenses. The importer can issue import license by the European commission and Germany sector, including the economy and the unity and the department of licensing management system (SIGL, url: trade. The ec. The Europa. Eu/SIGL/query. HTML), for quantity quota usage information.

[Supervision system] Supervision can be divided into pre - and retrospective surveillance

Prior surveillance is carried out. Post-post control allows customs authorities to register the results of the flows so that the Commission can more quickly obtain information on imports from Member States. Pre-supervision requires importers to obtain uniform import surveillance documents from the competent authorities of member states. In some cases, there is also a double checking surveillance issued by the host country.

[Import License] is mainly used to supervise the import of sensitive commodities, such as steel, textiles and kimono

Loading.

[Import and Export Ban] The EU imposes import and export bans under special circumstances relating to trade in the following products:

(1) Certain instruments that may be used to carry out the death penalty, torture or other cruel, inhuman or ill-treatment or punishment;

(2) goods that infringe certain intellectual property rights;

(3) Iraq's import and export of cultural relics;

(4) The sale, transfer or provision of technical assistance to Liberia in connection with military activities, free of charge, and the import from Liberia of rough diamonds, timber and wood products;

(5) the import of fur and other products of certain species of wild animals;

(6) Trade in Endangered Animals and Plants (CITES);

(7) Sunflower seed oil without mineral oil content standard confirmation certificate imported from Ukraine.

Since 31 December 2008, the EU has banned the import, export and market trading of cat skins, dog skins and their products.

[Regulations on cross-border e-commerce tax] According to the German customs regulations, goods ordered by individuals from outside the EU with a value less than 22 euros are exempted from import value-added tax. If the value of the goods is 22 euros or more,

An import value-added tax of 19% will be levied uniformly. Mail-order goods worth less than 150 euros are exempt from duty; If the value of the goods is 150 euros or more, the duty will be levied at the rate specified in the customs tariff catalogue of the goods, and the duty will be based on the value of the goods plus the total amount of import VAT, not just the value of the goods.

[Import and Export Tariff Rate of Products] Germany's import and export tariff rate adopts the European Union unified standard. Please check the EU trade data website for the specific import and export tariff rate of products.

The market background

As Germany is located in the center of the European continent, its food culture is closely related to the distribution of products in the inland regions. On the whole, Germany is more fond of meat and beer (roughly, German beer can be divided into white beer, clear beer, dark beer, Koch beer, export beer, non-alcoholic beer and other six categories). Among them, Germans especially love to eat pork, most of the famous German dishes are pork products, such as sausages. Compared with the refined food of central and southern Europe, the traditional German food is generally rougher but still distinctive. Traditional dishes such as roast pork knuckle and roast pork knee are often served with mashed potatoes and sweet and sour cabbage.

9. Frame section: food category

Dairy products in general:

Germany has always been famous for its beer, but many people don't know that Germany has a very strong dairy industry. In terms of natural environment alone, there are large forests, grasslands and fields in Germany, and the indicators of air quality, water and food are all relatively ideal, which lays a solid foundation for Germany to become the largest dairy exporter in the European Union. The advantaged natural conditions, coupled with the serious and rigorous working attitude of the German people who are famous in the world, make high-quality dairy products naturally. Especially in recent years, due to the endless events in the dairy industry, domestic and foreign consumers have to pay too much attention to this industry, and therefore have a strong awareness of the value of "rigorous" attitude. As far as German dairy products are concerned, the quality control and supervision in the country are quite rigorous, which has reached a harsh degree.

Development of dairy products:

German milk and dairy industry is an important part of the German economy, and plays a very important role. The milk and milk products produced in Germany are famous for their excellent quality, which is not only trusted by the local people, but also sold to the European Union and many countries in the world. On March 31, 2015, the EU lifted the 31-year-old milk production quota system, which led to a surge in milk supply in the EU, a collapse in milk prices, and many dairy farmers are struggling to recoup their costs. Therefore, German dairy industry has fallen into a development crisis. In recent years, the number of dairy farmers, dairy farmers and dairy processing enterprises in Germany has continued to decline, but the production of milk and dairy products is on the rise, and there is a serious overcapacity.

 

Exports to China:

China's dairy imports rose 10% in March and ended the first quarter of 2020 with a +1.3% increase. The most notable growth has been in butter products, where China's imports nearly doubled in January-March to more than 34,000 tons. Cheese and packaged milk also showed an increase of more than 25 percent.
