Anhörungen

Ein Ausschuss ist berechtigt, eine Anhörung mit Sachverständigen zu veranstalten, wenn dies für seine Arbeit zu einem bestimmten Thema als unerlässlich erachtet wird. Anhörungen können auch von mehreren Ausschüssen gemeinsam abgehalten werden. Die meisten Ausschüsse organisieren regelmäßig Anhörungen, da sie es ihnen ermöglichen, sich zu wichtigen Themen von Sachverständigen beraten zu lassen und diese zu erörtern. Auf dieser Seite finden Sie alle verfügbaren Informationen zu den Anhörungen in den Ausschüssen einschließlich Programme, Aushänge und Redebeiträge.

These containers are painted in a variety of vibrant colors including shades of red, pink, blue, green, orange, and brown, creating a patchwork effect.
The ship is sailing on a shimmering blue-green sea. The water has a slight texture due to gentle ripples, indicating a calm sea.
