Z Source: www.exchange-rates.org World Europe Germany (Notes) Germany - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS The government is parliamentary, and a democratic constitution emphasizes the protection of individual liberty and division of powers in a federal structure. The chancellor (prime minister) heads the executive branch of the federal government. The duties of the president (chief of state) are largely ceremonial; the chancellor exercises executive power. The Bundestag (lower, principal chamber of the parliament) elects the chancellor and cannot remove the chancellor from office during a 4-year term unless it has agreed on a successor. The president is elected every 5 years on May 23 by the Federal Assembly, a body convoked only for this purpose, comprising the entire Bundestag and an equal number of state delegates. The Bundestag, which serves a 4-year term, consists of at least twice the number of electoral districts in the country (299). When parties' directly elected seats exceed their proportional representation, they may receive more seats. The number of seats in the Bundestag was reduced to 598 for the 2002 elections. The Bundesrat (upper chamber or Federal Council) consists of 69 members who are delegates of the 16 Laender (states). The legislature has powers of exclusive jurisdiction and concurrent jurisdiction with the Laender in areas specified in the Basic Law. The Bundestag has primary legislative authority. The Bundesrat must concur on legislation concerning revenue shared by federal and state governments and those imposing responsibilities on the states.

The Avalon Project at Yale Law School Communication from the German Government to the British Government - September 3, 1939 Communication from the German Government to the British Government, Handed by Joachim von Ribbentrop, Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the British Ambassador (Sir Neville Henderson) at 11:20 A.M., September 3, 1939 The German Government have received the British Government's ultimatum of the 3rd September, 1939. They have the honour to reply as follows: - 1. The German Government and the German people refuse to receive, accept, let alone to fulfill, demands in the nature of ultimata made by the British Government. 2. On our eastern frontier there has for many months already reigned a condition of war. Since the time when the Versailles Treaty first tore Germany to pieces, all and every peaceful settlement was refused to all German Governments. The National Socialist Government also has since the year 1933 tried again and again to remove by peaceful negotiations the worst rapes and breaches of justice of this treaty. The British Government have been among those who, by their intransigent attitude, took the chief part in frustrating every practical revision. Without the intervention of the British Government - of this the German Government and German people are fully conscious - a reasonable solution doing justice to both sides would certainly have been found between Germany and Poland. For Germany did not have the intention nor had she raised the demands of annihilating Poland. The Reich demanded only the revision of those articles of the

Looking at research and knowledge intensities in industry, Germany ranks high in comparison to other countries. Its innovative strength is further underscored by the fact that it produces 277 patents with global market potential per million employed persons whereas the EU and OECD average is 182 and 152 respectively. Improvements have been made turning research results into products: In 2003 the share of companies that launched new products or new processes rose for the first time in three years, to 59 percent. Sectors with technological strength are reporting increasingly higher levels of export trade. German enterprises account for 15.6 percent of global trade in research-intensive goods, ranking second only to the USA. For years now, German exports of research-intensive goods have grown an average of more than eight percent a year. The ability of German companies to compete in international markets has improved noticeably since the mid-1990s. Germany is again playing its strenghts in technology.

Main April 19, 2004 Germany’s new government typefaces Bad Homburg, March 1st, 2004, Dutch designer Gerard Unger Demos and Praxis are now the official typefaces for the German government for use in all government communications. The typefaces have now been adapted and extended for the specific requirements of governmental communication to become Neue Demos and Neue Praxis. As part of its development work on the government’s corporate design, the Hannover-based advertising agency Odeon Zwo chose two new typefaces – Demos and Praxis – for use in all government communications. Both typefaces now play a major role in the government’s visual presentation, which is new, modern and above all, consistent. Both Demos (an antiqua typeface) and Praxis (a grotesque or sans-serif) were originally created by Dutch designer Gerard Unger in 1976 and 1977 for the company Hell, which was later acquired by Linotype. The typefaces have now been adapted and extended for the specific requirements of governmental communication. Neue Demos comes in four weights: Regular, Italic, Bold and Small Caps. Each weight is available in three different character sets – international, eastern European and Turkish. Neue Praxis comes in Regular and Bold weights, again in international, eastern European and Turkish character sets. The grand total of 23 fonts also includes additional special characters, symbols and chart numerals.

The Basic Law also allows for conscientious objection to service as an armed combatant in the military. In practice, the majority of people in Germany are free to practice these rights. In the past few years, the religious freedom of new or small religions has been questioned and the German government has come under international scrutiny for its treatment of certain religious minorities. Three faiths are definitely favored under German law. The majority of Germans belong to the Lutheran and Catholic churches. These groups, along with the Jewish community, enjoy special government status as corporate bodies under the law. As such, they have the right to participate in a state-administered tax system. Church affiliated schools receive subsidies, and state schools provide religious instruction in the Jewish, Lutheran and Catholic faith. Numerous other churches and religious groups are active in Germany and, though they do not enjoy the above mentioned government support, many have been granted tax-exempt status.

Germany has signed up IBM for a major public sector computer contract, dealing a blow to software giant Microsoft in the process. IBM announced it will offer German Government offices deep discounts on computer systems based on Linux, rather than Microsoft's near-ubiquitous Windows operating system. Germany's Interior Minister, Otto Schilly, said the move would help cut costs and improve security in the nation's computer networks. "We are raising computer security by avoiding a monoculture, and we are lowering dependence on a single supplier," he said in a statement. "And so we are a leader in creating more diversity in the computer field." Neither the government nor IBM would disclose the terms of the agreement. But a spokesman for SuSE, the German company supplying the version of Linux involved in the deal, said the deal was directed at the interior ministry, which oversees law enforcement in Germany.

National Science and Technology Effort The public and private sectors contributed $15 billion and $25 billion to the total, respectively. The non-profit sector accounted for the remainder of about $2 billion. A few key factors help to account for the observed declines in private sector research sponsorship. According the Federal Research Ministry (BMBF), in many cases innovation has been dampened by the high risks associated with the development of new high technology products coupled with a relative scarcity of risk capital, which has had a particular impact on small and medium-sized enterprises. Many companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, have found it prohibitively expensive to make financial commitments to innovative projects with longer amortization periods and higher risks. The progress made to date in integrating the eastern states into the larger German economy and society has come at an annual cost to the west of approximately $100 billion; major federal expenditures for German reintegration are expected to remain necessary for several years to come.

National Energy Policy Overview Germany is the world's fifth largest energy consumer14.4 quadrillion Btu, or quads, in 1996. Germany consumes about 2.9 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil, nearly all of which it imports. Germany consumed 3.7 Tcf of gas in 1996, around 80% of which it imported. Germany has coal reserves of 74.2 billion short tons (bst), of which 36% is hard coal (anthracite and bituminous), while 64% is soft coal (lignite and subbituminous). Currently Germany ranks fourth worldwide in installed nuclear capacity, behind the United States, France, and Japan. Nuclear power generates some 30% of Germany’s electricity supply. The contribution of renewable energy to Germany’s fuel mix is growing steadily. This is due, in part, to the fact that German utilities are now obligated to pay independent power producers (IPPs) a minimum price of 90% of their average electricity rate for wind and photovoltaic energy (about 10 cents per kWh), and 70% for energy from water, biomass, or biogas. As of early 1998, the total capacity of wind power reportedly reached 2 GW, making Germany the largest producer of wind energy in the world. Figure 4: Germany’s Total Energy Consumption 1996

Did Germany Spoil Turkey's EU Hope in Copenhagen? by Heinz Kramer SWP As the final result of the Copenhagen summit more or less corresponds with the German-French formula, the vast majority of Turkish commentators concluded that Germany (and to a lesser extent France) was mainly responsible for the renewed European rebuff of Turkey's endeavor to become a member of the EU. Although the tone in Turkish comments softened after some days of digesting of what had happened in Copenhagen, there remains a strong suspicion that the German government displayed an unfair attitude towards an important European ally and partner. Many Turks are convinced that Germany harbours cultural-religious prejudices against Muslim Turkey and wants it excluded from a basically Christian European Union. This perception, which is also shared by some anglo-saxon commentators, is not totally unjustified but, nevertheless, too simplistic to explain the German government's policy towards the Copenhagen decision. Three factors mainly worked together in the making of the German position: continuity of red-green policy on the issue of Turkey's membership of the EU, the interest to revive the German-Franco "engine" of EU development, and domestic political considerations. Add to this a German desire to relieve the strained relationship with Washington.
