Buongiorno,
I don't know very much about what the politicians in Germany are like, but I have personally had very good success dealing with some German companies. Particularly, a power supply company named Ceag that produced a family of supplies for our product just prior to our main product now, was great to deal with. We worked together with Ceag in joint development, manufacturing, and Ceag helped us solve some tough field problems in the power area later on. Besides that, they took us (my wife included) to some of the best restaurants I've been to in the world. These were in Eberbach and Soest. One day, the wife of the Ceag sales rep for our account, took my wife all around the area of Soest, including lunch at a restaurant overlooking a beautiful lake. That's while I was in engineering meetings with Ceag all day. Soest is a "walled" city, about 30,000 people, with crooked, cobbled streets. Very German, European and quaint.
I also have done business with a person who works for the BZT, which reports to the German post office, and is like our FCC. This man is very intelligent in his area, which is electromagnetic interference, and in computers. So, the German Post Office is getting awfully close to the German government, or, maybe it is part of it.
Speaking of German food, I think it is wonderful. You can't get it very easily in California. When I go to Germany, I know I come back at least five pounds heavier.
Ciao, Paisan
