Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Perhaps the homeowner should think a little beyond their own garden fence. If Germany comes with export restrictions, then the response could mean import restrictions or tariffs on other goods. I don't think anyone would take any action that, for example, could affect the automotive industry.

But Altmeier excluded that. Something definitely needs to be done.

…. there is also a petition on this that can surely be found via search engines if you look for it.
Why shouldn’t the EU temporarily reduce timber exports to get out of this emergency? Russia will completely ban the export of roundwood from next year. After all, wood is an important building block to achieve the climate goals.

The topic has now arrived in politics. Interesting article in WiWo „The wood is running out: Are export restrictions coming now?“

If Germany does not deliver, Sweden will do it. Is Germany a wood exporter?

Also think that export bans are not the solution.

However, it is definitely reassuring that the issue has reached politics and hopefully a political decision will be made in June.

Maybe there will be "Bauholzgeld" then!? :p

Nothing happens. Raw material prices fluctuate, that is normal and bearable. The outcry is only loud now because it directly affects the end customer and, moreover, people were used to bargain prices.
