"Members of Germany's Bundestag will convene on Wednesday for their first plenary session following the summer recess. To open proceedings, Federal Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius (SPD) and Federal Minister of Health Nina Warken (CDU) will answer questions from members of the German parliament. Their two ministries are responsible for major federal government projects. Pistorius is leading efforts to strengthen the Bundeswehr, while Warken is tasked with reforming hospitals, health insurance companies, and nursing care."
"In the first reading, members of parliament will also debate a draft bill from the federal government that would allow the controversial underground storage of climate-damaging gas CO2 in Germany. At present, so-called CCS technology (Carbon Capture and Storage) has no legal basis in this country. Coca-Cola is promoting a new Made in Germany marketing campaign as it seeks to distance itself from the increasingly tarnished image of the United States on the global stage."
"The campaign highlights several employees at their German plant on posters and online advertisements. For example, one ad reads: 'Made by Heike' designed to highlight that the product is locally produced. It comes as US-based companies attempt to shift their image due to the negative view of the US that has grown in Germany and the world in recent months. As early as March of this year social media groups promoting a boycott of US-made goods began to gain some notoriety in European communities."
