“I cannot provide an outlook for 2003. The business and political uncertainties are immense but I am convinced that we have the factors we can influence, under control. We will continue our positive development,” Schrempp said.

“I am very concerned over the current relations between Germany and the US We have had a community of values with the US which has grown for over 50 years,” Schrempp said.
“Everything possible must be done to maintain this relationship, despite the differences of opinion on the important topic of the Iraq crisis.”
