unsatisfactory"
Given the data leaks at the whistleblower Wikileaks calls for the
chairman of the Legal Committee in the Bundestag, Siegfried Kauder,
stricter confidentiality rules. "The penalty for breach of secrecy
provisions are unsatisfactory. The Wikileaks case demonstrates that
highly confidential information must be protected more effectively,"
said the conservative politician of the "New Newspaper Osnabrück".
According to his will in future "be off limits to traditional media such
as internet platforms of any publication that can bring people in
danger". In such severe cases, it should be possible to investigate and
prosecute those responsible and to impose deterrent penalties. "Press
freedom is a great good, but there are limits even for them," said
Siegfried Kauder.
So is the committee chairman in part to distance to a bill, with the
freedom of the press should be strengthened in the criminal law. The
proposed law on the initiative of the FDP wants to rule out
investigations and sanctions against media people generally, if they
publish a trade secret.
