Specifically, the escalation process looks like this: “Continuously and regularly”, the responsible heads of department from the BMI, BMWi, AA and the Federal Chancellery meet for “inter-ministerial jour fixes” in order to discuss decisions, because in case of doubt a decision can be found within 30 days got to. If there is no agreement at the working level, the ministers must first try to resolve the dissent. If that does not succeed either, the Chancellery will “discuss the dispute with the aim of advancing an amicable decision”.
