Comments or explanatory statement in connection with this declaration.


K1	In Germany it is customary for contracts of employment to include the stipulation that one must not disclose the amount of one’s salary. My contract of employment with Init GmbH naturally includes a prohibition of that kind. For this reason I have, by way of a salary declaration, given the salary category declaration habitually used in the German Bundestag. I offer an express assurance, however, that my employer, for whom I worked prior to my membership of the German Bundestag, derives no advantage of any kind whatsover as a result of decisions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In particular, this previous employment has no influence of any kind on my activity in the PACE and is unrelated to it.
