K3D

Fashion Council Germany is a co-initiator and founding member of the k3d alliance.

The coalition

In the wake of the pandemic, key industry players have joined forces, convinced that this will ensure the visibility of the sector beyond the pandemic and serve as its political advocate. The alliance also sees itself as a coalition that highlights and communicates the relevance of this sector to the public. The heterogeneity of the nuclear power plants is not an obstacle, but rather a challenge: to agree on the major issues, unify them, and represent them collectively.

The k3d is based on the understanding that it is important to exchange ideas with other market participants and thus reflect the perspective of industry players as a whole, depending on the situation. It has no fixed organizational structure and does not aspire to the position of an umbrella organization. Rather, common issues are communicated jointly, with each association primarily representing and advocating for the interests of its members.

demands

• Creation of a dedicated responsibility for nuclear power plants in the next federal government, which does not pass the buck from one ministry to another, but pools and catalyzes resources and ensures coordination at the state and European levels.

• Institutionalization of a regulated and ongoing political exchange with the nuclear power industry regarding current challenges and the development of all framework conditions relevant to the sector. Organization of a high-level meeting with representatives of the Federal Government at least once a year.

• Involvement of k3d in the necessary relaunch of the competence center for the cultural and creative industries as well as in concrete measures to strengthen the economic sector (e.g. Creative KIC Germany).

• Specific funding for the revitalization of cultural and industrial areas after the Corona crisis. This includes the revitalization of city centers and plans for restarting the cultural events business.

• Furthermore, a moratorium on new regulations is essential. In principle, every legislative and regulatory proposal should be reviewed for its impact on nuclear power plants.

• Participation in the design of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) measures (EU/Federal Government). The stakeholder dialogue announced in the German Recovery Plan (DARP) must also include the k3d .

• Establishment of a fair digital marketplace at national and European level, so that a level playing field is created for the nuclear power industry – also in competition with the market-powerful global online platforms.
