title = {Funktionszulagen für Parlamentarische Geschäftsführer. Zum Urteil des Schleswig-Holsteinischen Landesverfassungsgerichts vom 30. September 2013},
year = {2014},
note = {According to the jurisdiction of the German Federal Constitutional
Court (BVerfG) the number of parliamentary functions with additional
position-related allowances is limited to prominent positions, such as
the President and Vice-President of Parliament and the chairperson of
a parliamentary faction, whereas other prominent functions, e.g., the
whips of a faction, are not permitted additional remuneration. The
ruling of the BVerfG has been widely criticized because the Court did
not take into account sufficiently the realities in the different
Parliaments. In contrast to the BVerfG, the Constitutional Court of
Schleswig-Holstein has ruled convincingly that granting allowances for
whips does not impair the principle of equality among MPs
inappropriately because the allowance compensates for the restrictions
in carrying out the mandate that the additional position entails.
