Saturday’s Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper said it had seen the letter written by Justice Minister Sabien Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger and Family Minister Kristina Schröder.
“We do not see a legally binding guideline from the European Union for a quota as the right way,” the letter says. Such a quota would, “not be fair either to the various starting positions of the EU member states, nor the industry-specific needs of the companies.”
The letter is addressed to the UK Business Secretary Vince Cable, who has been leading efforts to stop the initiative of EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding to introduce such a law.
