Facing Scientology's risk

German Parliament
The CDU/CSU faction have made Psycho-groups with a high risk potential into a Minor Inquiry (14/4358).

Mentioned in particular was the Scientology Organization. The government should say, based on the evaluation of the Scientology Organization by the French administration, whether it is ready to agree to a joint French-German initiative with the goal of achieving a coordinated joint method by the EU member states in dealing with the risks arising from Scientology.

It is also asked whether the U.S. government has tried to exert influence to Scientology's favor in Germany.

The faction further intends to know what the administration has undertaken to present the USA with their opinion of the risks resulting from Scientology to the liberal democratic basic system of Germany and to gain agreement for the resulting plan of action.

In addition to that, it is of interest to the representatives how many commercial enterprises Scientology and its sub-organizations control directly through capital ownership and contracts and indirectly through management personnel.

Finally, the faction inquired as to the legal alternatives to thwart infiltration of the German economy by Scientology members.
