Swift Execution of the Additional Accord to the Berlin/Bonn Treaty
In a recent development, County Administrator Achim Hallerbach of Bonn has written to Federal Minister Klara Geywitz, urging her to finalize the supplementary agreement to the Berlin/Bonn Act before the upcoming federal elections.
The need for swift action is emphasized due to the current political climate, with the collapse of the government coalition in Berlin affecting the timeline for concluding the agreement. The supplementary agreement is part of an effort to strengthen Bonn as a federal political center in the national interest.
Negotiations for the supplementary agreement were recently held in late October between Bonn, Neuwied County, Rhein-Sieg and Ahrweiler counties, Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia states, and the federal government. The agreed-upon work status includes the possibility of expanding to include projects still under review.
Neuwied County, in particular, is pushing for the agreed-upon work status to be formally documented as soon as possible. County Administrator Hallerbach advocates for further cross-party action to address the issues at hand, rather than engaging in party political power games.
The Mayor of Bonn is optimistic that the results from the negotiations will be taken up in the new legislative period due to the broad cross-party agreement. The Mayor is in regular contact with Minister Geywitz regarding the progress of the supplementary agreement.
While extensive search results were found, they did not provide specific or up-to-date information on the current status of negotiations for the supplementary agreement to the Berlin/Bonn Act. It appears that either these negotiations have not been a significant public issue recently or that their progress is not widely reported in accessible sources.
For detailed and authoritative updates on this topic, it is recommended to consult official German federal government communications, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, or the Bonn city administration, which typically provide statements and documents related to Bonn’s federal role and the Berlin/Bonn Act.
In conclusion, the urgent call for the finalization of the supplementary agreement to the Berlin/Bonn Act reflects the importance of Bonn's continued status as a federal political center and the need for swift action in the current political climate.
Other counties, such as Neuwied, are also advocating for the swift finalization of the supplementary agreement to the Berlin/Bonn Act, following the ongoing negotiations and the urgent call from County Administrator Hallerbach. The discussions regarding policy-and-legislation surrounding Bonn's federal role are of general-news interest, particularly in the lead-up to the upcoming federal elections.
