Body pursuant to Section 41, paragraph (5)
of the Foreign Trade and Payments Act

Similar difficulties arise in the case of the Customs Criminological Office, which has the power, under the Foreign Trade and Payments Act and the War Weapons Control Act, to suspend the privacy of correspondence, posts and telecommunications in individual cases, albeit by order of a regional court. To ensure parliamentary control in these cases too, Section 41, paragraph (5) of the Foreign Trade and Payments Act provides for the appointment by the Bundestag of a special body consisting of nine Members, to which the Federal Finance Minister must report any interference with the basic right to privacy enshrined in Article 10 of the Basic Law.
