Well, the Minister of Agriculture has come out (Klockner, CDU), and said a bold new plan is needed. She says that a several million seedlings are ready in the nursery operations....the government just needs two things. First, money to buy them, and second.....personnel to plant them.
A billion Euro operation? Probably. Would the SPD and CDU come to agree on this, and sponsor the money? I'm guessing they could find 300 million over three years to sponsor something like this.
But then we come to people to plant. The truth is....you've got a million-plus people on Hartz IV (welfare), and you could easily go and employ 25,000 of them on a 30-to-40 hour a week deal, for two years. Pay-scale? If this were me....I'd offer them what they were making on Hartz IV plus 33-percent. As long as you show up 95-percent of the time on schedule, without playing sick-leave much....I'd even offer a 2,000 Euro bonus at the end of the whole 'expedition'.
The odds of the Germans being this smart? I have my doubts. You will probably see this contracted-out to various Romanian and Bulgarian companies, who bring ten-thousand non-Germans to do the job.
