Wettbewerb der Standorte
German to English
Bus/Financial
Aber bei Aventis herrscht, wie bei anderen globalen Unternehmen auch, ein intensiver Wettbewerb der Standorte. Wenn die deutsche Gesundheitspolitik dazu führt, dass die Rahmenbedingungen unkalkulierbar werden und wir in Deutschland weniger verdienen können als in vergleichbaren Ländern, dann stellt man sich im Konzern selbstverständlich die Frage, warum ausgerechnet in Deutschland investiert werden soll.

competition between the (production) sites
"Standort" is the site (e.g. factory) of the company in a certain country. Several factors make production in Germany more expensive over Asian countries. That's why companies think of closing their sites in Germany and go to Asia, because labour and other costs are cheaper there. Hope this helps.
3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks. Your suggestion makes "Wettbewerb der Standorte" clear, though I prefer 'locations' to 'sites'
Thanks to the others as well."
