Klöckner added the spring lockdown experience had proven that economies could ride out a pandemic, that consumers could trust that policymakers and business leaders to manage the crisis responsibly.
In particular, she pointed out that EU commitment to not impose border closures again provided more confidence about commerce flow within the bloc. As such, worries that worsening outbreaks would cause bottlenecks in consumer goods' supply chain were unfounded, Klöckner said.
