BVDW wants ministry


Following the establishment of the Bundestag Committee for the Digital Agenda in 2013, the necessary bundling of ministerial responsibilities for digital policy in Germany failed to materialize.
"Instead, the responsibility for shaping one of the most important political fields of the future has been distributed among various ministries, which has made it difficult, if not impossible, to make quick decisions, develop a consistent digital policy and, in particular, effectively implement the Federal Government's Digital Agenda"
explains BVDW President Matthias Wahl.
The experience of the last two years with the division of competencies between the "digital ministries" BMWi (Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy), BMI (Federal Ministry of the Interior) and BMVI (Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure) clearly shows this.
