Retailers sound the alarm – “Our local supplier is in grave danger!”

Date:

Electricity costs for refrigeration systems are increasing for food retailers. That is not possible, warns an Adeg trader. The Chamber of Commerce now supports entrepreneurs.

Our company survived two world wars and the economic crises, but now I’m really worried,” says Mag. Anton Kovsca, the third generation who runs an Adeg store in Nötsch im Gailtal and is spokesperson for the Adeg merchants. for a grocer with a tenfold increase, and then there are the collective bargaining negotiations for higher wages that start on Tuesday: “We will have to lay off workers and close branches. Anyone can imagine what that means for the countryside.”

The system is still working
Public utilities are at risk. Kovsca: “In Nötsch, for example, we still have a functioning infrastructure with dealers, doctors, hostels and schools. But how long?”

Chamber of Commerce offers support
The Carinthian Chamber of Commerce finds the situation equally worrying. Raimund Haberl, head of the trade department of the Chamber of Commerce, therefore argues for a decoupling of electricity and gas prices and for a moderate result in the collective negotiations, which start on Tuesday.
