Excerpt in the window of print: Now less dependent on its neighbors, Germany
is less forgiving of some.
Quote:
"'Italy used to produce a lot of goods that would feed the German industrial
machine,' said Jens Sondergaard, an economist at Nomura in London. But much
of that German business is going to Eastern Europe or elsewhere, where
costs are lower and companies are increasingly able to match Italian quality
. Indeed, despite the strong German economy, Italian exports to Germany were
.2 billion lower in 2010 than in 2008.
"With decades of European economic integration under their belt, German
companies still exported much more to France last year than to China — 1
billion compared with 4 billion. But the gap is closing fast. Exports to
China rose 44 percent in 2010 compared with a 12 percent increase for France.
"China is by far the biggest market for Germany’s crucial machine-tool
industry
