Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance creates a state accreditation and access regime for the Federal Palace media center. It sets a 60%-of-full-time reporting threshold for accreditation, requires applications and proof of status, gives the Federal Chancellery decision power after consulting parliamentary services and the association of Federal Palace journalists, grants accredited journalists access and operational privileges, provides narrower access rights for others, publishes a public register, and allows withdrawal for loss of eligibility or misuse.

Verdict reason
This is a gatekeeping scheme for access to political information and facilities that privileges established insiders, ties eligibility to employment status and workload, and even gives an incumbent journalists’ association a formal role in screening entrants. The law’s core mechanism is cartelizing and discriminatory rather than indispensable; the stated administrative functions do not justify this level of state-managed accreditation and privilege.
