Evaluation of anti-terrorism legislation

Article 9 of the Act Amending the Federal Constitutional Protection Act of 7 December 2011 states that the Federal Government shall evaluate the application of the provisions of the Act on the Protection of the Federal Constitution, the MAD Act, the BND Act and the Security Screening Act which were created and amended by the Anti-Terrorism Act, the Supplementary Anti-Terrorism Act and the Act Amending the Anti-Terrorism Act, with the assistance of one or more experts. It is of particular importance to consider the frequency and impact of the restrictions on fundamental rights associated with the powers of intervention, as well as the effectiveness of the relevant provisions. The Federal Ministry of the Interior has commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany in Speyer to undertake the evaluation project (Publication in German).
