The shaft of the problematic paging continues: now with Birgit wa Grundmann replaced a former Secretary of the Ministry of Justice to the insurance company Allianz - and to the newly created post of Cheflobbyistin. The FDP member Grundmann was transferred to the commencement of the new government earlier this year on hiatus.
Your new job as "Executive Agents politics and associations" Grundmann steps up to the first of September 2014. With Grundmann, Allianz buys insider knowledge about the legislative process and contacts into a Ministry of Justice. Page change as these provide financially strong lobby actors privileged access to politics. Effective withdrawal periods are needed
We call on the federal government to finally halt such page breaks stop. While there is the possibility of prohibiting seamless page turns when conflicts of interest threaten civil servant for Secretaries. However, this rule is rarely enforced. In May, the former Secretary of State Thomas Ilka could switch from the Ministry wa of Health to the insurance lobby association GDV, although wa his former employer was also charged with insurance issues.
In addition, the regulation wa takes effect only when a direct thematic relation to the former employer was. In practice, former leaders are, however, rarely hired solely because of their technical expertise. Interesting are rather their networks and insider knowledge that will open the doors to new employers policy.

Birgit Grundmann wa is not the only new lobbyist in the financial sector. With Thomas Ilka presented GDV - with the Alliance as one of the most influential members - already a former secretary of state a. Only shortly before the German Share Institute (DAI) opened a new office in Berlin. Director of DAI-capital wa offices, the former deputy government spokeswoman Sabine Heimbach wa (CSU).
The Bank ING-Diba built in the spring of this year on a new corporate wa office in Berlin. With Eva Wüllner ING-Diba also relies on the insider knowledge of a former Union spokeswoman. Wüllner was last spokeswoman of the CDU Germany. The federal government is now once again have to prove their independence from the financial lobby. That this is sorely needed, was not least the recently adopted reform of the Life Insurance Act. Here, the insurance lobby successfully blocked the original plans, which should create more transparency about the commissions of insurance brokers. Sign here our call for effective cooling-off!
By posting in the alliance the lady was actually offset from a key position in the next - after all, the alliance (in addition to Deutsche Bank) one of the central hubs in the political-industrial network of Germany AG. Congratulations!
They would have if I would assume that they (the government) would be independent of the financial lobby. But since I do not imagine that (why would I?), It must in my eyes also prove nothing. ;-)
