Wieck: With market economy Belarus could produce a million cars a year
The German Doctor of Science has shared a few suggestions with the Belarusian community.
Hans-George Wieck from the Association of Human Rights in Belarus shared a few suggestions during the conference “Future of Belarus”.
In his opinion, it is necessary to create academies of the civil community for it – both in Belarus and abroad. The academies would help build up intellectual comprehension of the situation the country is in and the way it should follow for the next 20 years.
Hans-George Wieck also drew attention to the necessity of market changes in the economy.
Hans-George Wieck: “Belarus could have turned its industry into a market mechanism and find partners abroad in the 90s. If it had happened, you would be producing a million cars now, live comfortably, make a living and influence your neighbours – the EU and Russia”.
Wieck noted that the EU perceived Belarus’ civil community as a serious partner. The Belarusian “third sector” used to suffer from Europe’s non-recognition before.
