Central and Eastern Europe. The Central and Eastern Europe segment is to be one of the central core areas of growth for Commerzbank (new). The aim is to become one of the key players among foreign banks in the region. Dresdner Bank’s existing activities in Central and Eastern Europe will be integrated into Commerzbank (new). In countries where parallel Commerzbank (new) and Allianz activities exist or are being developed, the intention is to build up collaboration possibilities between the Parties. The planned expansion will be driven forward by organic growth and external additions. The organic growth will result from the further development of existing business activities and the regional roll-out of business models already successful in other countries (e.g. m-Bank). The growth initiatives will focus on business in retail and corporate banking. Regional emphases will be determined in line with specific country rankings, which take account of market appeal, economic and political stability, and so on.

Central and Eastern Europe. While the productivist strategies described above have been pursued across the EU, Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) have followed distinctive paths of agricultural development relative to Western European countries as a result of collectivized agriculture under socialist re- gimes. During this period, farms in CEE followed a distinctly dualistic path, with two principal types of farm structures: small, self-subsistence plots on one hand, and large-scale collectivized state farms producing the majority of output on the other, which followed the same logic of economies of scale as in Western Europe (Xxxxxx et al., 2004). Agriculture was an integral part of the central- ly planned economy, and CEE countries were major suppliers of agricultural products to the Soviet Union, with collectivized farms linked to centralized input-supply and product-processing facilities (IAASTD, 2009). Large farms underwent rapid industrialization from the 1970-1990s, during which time CEE agriculture was considered as intensive as its Western European counterpart in terms of inputs such as fertilizers (Figure 9). Meanwhile, small farms developed and were authorized by Soviet authorities in response to food shortages, but their development was not supported xxxxx- cially by the government as to avoid tendencies towards private ownership (ibid). Socialized agri- culture was focused on quantity rather than quality, and is largely regarded as having suffered from inefficiency as a result of its insulation from market signals (Xxxxxx et al., 2004). The transition to democracy and market economies beginning in the early nineties was marked by a high decrease in overall output as a result of market restructuring, a decrease in consumption, and difficulties with market access (Macours & Swinnen, 1999 ; OECD, 2001). De-collectivization took two central forms: state farms were either downsized or dismantled to create family farms, or were taken over privately by corporations without significant downsizing. Within the second restructuring, some farms underwent a “token restructuring”, in which privatization did not signif- icantly change production, whereas others underwent “genuine restructuring”, consisting of a radical change in attitudes towards profit-driven operation (Xxxxxx et al., 2004). Domestic policy reforms occurred in multiple stages: during the first half of the nineties, reforms consisted of pri- vatization, demonopolization upstream and downstream of production...
