note = {Petitions against measures by official authorities are usually filed
by individuals or groups to the responsible departments or parliaments
. These requests or complaints are examined mostly without public
debate by the petitions committee or the plenum and sent to the
government for further consideration . However, parliament typically
does not share infor- mation on how the executive branch dealt with
the relevant matter . Therefore, Members of Parliament can neither
execute effective control nor can they help petitioners by generating
public pressure . As a consequence it seems appropriate to legally
oblige the government to report to the parliament in due time to
enable public debate of these matters in the ple- num . [ZParl, vol .
