Moreover, Westerwelle gave encouragement to the attending manpower suppliers by acknowledging the industry’s success and clearly dismissing criticism against temporary employment.
The temporary employment agencies gained further support by Raimund Becker, board of the Bundesanstalt für Arbeit (BA, Federal Labour Office). In his speech, he appreciated the agreements to co-operation between the BA and the manpower suppliers and particularly stated that temporary employment made a major contribution to the reduction of unemployment.
The presentations were rounded off by the speech of Anton F. Börner, President of the Federal Union of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade (Bundesverband des Deutschen Groß- und Außenhandels). The visitors then had another occasion to inform themselves at the information stands provided by the exhibitors in the lounge. The annual convention of the AMP was concluded with a summer party in the regional representation office in Bremen. The guests celebrated with lively conversations until late at night.
