Copy. 63 The Imperial Protector Prague, 3 February 1940 in Bohemia and Moravia The Head of Division II To the Group Leader II/4, Ministerial Councillor Dr. D e n l e r, P_r_a_g_, Adelsstift. Wages are the most important cost element in the structure of the protectorate economy. Their development is of crucial importance for the competitiveness of the protectorate economy in relation to the economy of the old empire. I therefore have to look back to the 1st April of this year. In addition, the Commission has decided to take the necessary steps to ensure that the Commission's proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling of dangerous substances and preparations for use in foodstuffs is complied with. On this occasion, I would like to point out once again that groups/II/l and II/5 are to be involved in the preparation of wage policy measures.
