“[…] In May 2019, the EITI-Board decided that Germany has met all EITI Requirements. This has been a major success for all stakeholders in politics, industry and civil society involved in the implementation of the EITI Standard in Germany. Germany has even gone beyond the formal requirements of the standard and has subsequently received widespread national and international acknowledgement for this. We should continue to do so in the future. I am looking forward to cooperating with all members of D-EITI in order to achieve this goal.”
