Bavaria has a unique – and winning – combination of strong economic performance and high quality of life. Its innovative strength has, according to the Bavarian Business Association, been reflected not least in the fact that, in a 2016 survey comparing the quality of industrial locations around the world, it was ranked second – after Switzerland – out of 45 countries. The mixture of high-tech and traditional industry drives Germany’s growth, enabling Bavaria to shoulder roughly 55% of the revenue-sharing burden under the fiscal equalisation scheme (Länderfinanzausgleich). Within the EU Bavaria defends its interests through the Committee of the Regions and with the aid of its 13 Members of the European Parliament. Within the Bavarian Representation in Brussels the Bavarian Parliament (Landtag) has its own liaison office.
