Evaluation of counter-terrorism regulations

Article 5 of the Act on the Extension of the Deadline for Regulations under the Anti-Terrorism Acts of 3 December 2015 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. Following approval by the German Bundestag, the Federal Ministry of the Interior commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to undertake the evaluation project.
