Niche and needed: German SMEs weather Trump tariffs with specialist tech
FRANKFURT, Aug 7 — While Germany's big companies groan under the US tariff burden, many small and midsize firms, the backbone of Europe's top economy, are confident their highly-specialised goods will just keep selling. The hope is that, in niche areas where American customers have no obvious alternatives, buyers across the Atlantic will just have to accept paying higher prices for their high-tech machines and products. 'The customer in America pays the tariff,' said Thorsten Bauer, co-head of laser maker Xiton Photonics, based in the western city of Kaiserslautern. 'We don't notice a thing.' Bauer's firm of about 20 workers is in this respect typical of the often family-owned enterprises that make up the German 'Mittelstand', Deutsche Bank executive Jan-Philipp Gillmann said. 'German Mittelstand companies are somewhat protected since they are often very specialised, sometimes the only firm that makes a particular part,' said Gillmann, Deutsche Bank's Head of Corporate Bank Europe. 'The cost of the tariff will often be borne by the consumer.' Under a framework deal agreed in late July, EU exports are set to face across-the-board US tariffs of 15 per cent from Thursday — higher than traditional duties but much lower than Trump's threatened 30 per cent. While German corporate titans such as automaker Volkswagen have grabbed headlines by taking tariff hits measured in the billions, many of the smaller firms hope to weather the headwinds. Brian Fuerderer, head and founder of Microqore Medical, a high-end surgical equipment maker with 32 employees, agreed. 'It's not possible to just copy 'Made in Germany,'' he said. 'There's not much comparable to what we in Germany do when it comes to medical technology.' He added that US tariffs would have to rise to 30 or even 40 per cent before American customers got cold feet. 'For Volkswagen, for big business, it's hard,' he said. 'But if you have a real niche, something only certain specialists can do, demand will carry on as before.' 'No legal certainty' The Mittelstand's rugged optimism defies Trump's repeated statements that foreign companies — not American importers or consumers — will pay the tariffs. That does not mean the levies — and the past months of uncertainty around them — have left the small and medium enterprises entirely unscathed. The United States is Germany's largest trading partner and Trump's on-again, off-again tariff blitz has already had an impact. 'When all the tariffs started, I made no US sales for three months,' Bauer said. 'You don't spend money if you don't know how things will look in the next six months.' He hopes the latest agreement fixing duties at 15 per cent, up from a provisional 10 per cent in the lead-up to an August 1 deadline, will at least give American companies the confidence to place orders again. But he is not entirely sure, pointing to Trump's highly changeable tariff policies. 'There's no legal certainty, basically,' Bauer said. 'I am trying to push up sales in Europe with discounts and things like that, to be less dependent on the international market.' 'Regulating ourselves to death' About a quarter of Xiton Photonic's sales are exports to the United States and it would be hard to diversify, Bauer said, since his high-tech customers are more often found in Japan, China or America than in Europe. Wider geopolitical tensions mean there is no easy answer. 'China could equally turn around tomorrow and say: 'We are not importing anything from the EU,'' said Bauer. 'In that case I'd be just another leaf blown about by the wind.' Fuerderer, whose company makes half its sales in the United States, said that relocating production there could make sense for some firms in the sector over the long term, particularly given high energy costs and burdensome bureaucracy at home. 'The US government wants companies to manufacture in the United States and they have tax breaks, grants and subsidies to make it happen,' he said. In Europe, by contrast, Fuerderer said 'we are regulating ourselves to death. People are afraid to put money on the table and try something new.' — AFP

Czech driverless train hits open track
The autonomous train relies on cameras, lasers, satellite navigation and an integrated digital map for information on its whereabouts. (AFP pic) KOPIDLNO : A rail line linking two northern Czech towns is testing Europe's first driverless train operating in an open environment, its developer told AFP on Tuesday. The train named Edita has been running since April on a local railway used as a testing track by the Prague-based private AZD company producing transport control and signalling systems. 'The train runs autonomously, it is equipped with systems that enable us to control its traction, brakes, and speed,' said AZD's railway developer Michal Novak. 'It is also equipped with a device that detects objects and recognises… obstacles and reacts accordingly,' he added. AZD has been running the train sparingly since its launch as its staff often test new equipment on it. Edita connects two small towns on a 24km track that was abandoned in 2010 before AZD bought it six years later. AZD has invested 320 million Czech koruna (US$15 million) in the project, using EU funding for about one-third of the amount. The autonomous train, which has so far driven some 1,700km with passengers, relies on cameras, lasers, satellite navigation and an integrated digital map for information on its whereabouts. Under the current legislation, it still needs a driver to at least supervise its operation. The early Tuesday train's crew also included a conductor and experts checking data. When a hare ran onto the track, Edita duly slowed down and informed the crew about the obstacle. Novak said the train once had to stop because of a herd of sheep in the way, but he added incidents like this were rare. He added Edita was the first driverless train in Europe in an open environment with level crossings and where animals might get in the way. 'There are systems where autonomous vehicles operate, but these are mostly on special tracks that are closed off… such as underground or transfers between airport terminals,' he said. 'These have been in place for quite some time and work well in Europe, but I only know of one project in Australia that operates in such an open landscape,' added Novak. Watching the track ahead of the train on a screen in the carriage, passenger Radka Globanova told AFP autonomous trains 'definitely have a future'. 'I think the progress will be really fast as artificial intelligence is being developed. There are autonomous trains, autonomous cars, why not?'

Rangers move closer to Champions League qualification with win over Plzen
Rangers' Djeidi Gassama (right) slots past Viktoria Plzen's goalkeeper to net the opener at Ibrox stadium. (Rangers pic) GLASGOW : Rangers took a step closer to the Champions League proper by beating Czech side Viktoria Plzen 3-0 in their third round qualification first leg tie on Tuesday. A Djeidi Gassama brace either side of a Cyriel Dessers spot-kick at Ibrox put Rangers firmly in control ahead of next week's return fixture in the Czech Republic. The winners of the tie will face either Austria's Red Bull Salzburg or Belgium's Club Brugge in the play-off for a spot in the league phase. The two goalscorers on the night combined for the hosts' opener in the 15th minute as Dessers laid the ball off to Gassama before the Frenchman took a touch and finished coolly. Dessers then doubled Rangers' advantage on the stroke of half-time by sending the goalkeeper the wrong way from 12 yards after new signing Oliver Antman went down in the box under Matej Vydra's challenge. Gassama gave Rangers the cushion they desired six minutes after the interval as he nodded in his fourth goal in qualifying this campaign. Elsewhere, Swedes Malmo played out a goalless stalemate at home to Copenhagen. Wednesday's qualification ties will see Salzburg host Brugge, while Portugal's Benfica travel to Ligue 1 outfit Nice and Feyenoord of the Netherlands play Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce.
