It seems necessary in this context to briefly present some fundamental considerations. Hermann Göring-Werke are at the moment operating manager of Witcowitz after the transfer agreement.

In the event that Guido Schmidt is to become the administrator and trade union board, the influence would be as follows: a) Managers, administrators and trade unions are then Hermann Göring-Werke. b) The Director General (one who would) will have the position of executive without being able to influence the decisive decisions.
