"Tariff pause" is a German word that literally means a "tariff break." It is mostly used in connection with collective bargaining or collective agreements.
Depending on the context, it can have different meanings:
In collective bargaining: A negotiation break during which employer associations and trade unions interrupt discussions before continuing negotiations.
In existing collective agreements: A phase in which no new collective agreements are concluded, and existing contracts simply continue. This can sometimes be intentionally agreed upon, for example, when the economic situation is uncertain.
In political or economic discussions: Demands for a tariff-free period to relieve companies, for example, during difficult economic conditions.
Would you like me to provide more examples or current situations related to this?
