English Translation

On the other hand, the participation in management meetings cannot give Mr Hartmann the required documents and the necessary insight. On the fact of the discrimination, the fact that Mr Hartman is designated as a specialist does not change anything. It must also be mentioned that Gen.Dir. Hartmann Oberdir.Dr.Böhm offered his cooperation in the organization of a joint bank against a lump sum fee of RM 5o.ooo.-. No answer was given to this offer. Mr von Wedelstaedt himself referred to this request as "not nice", but he also went beyond this fact and beyond the objection of discrimination and insisted on Mr Hartmann's participation in the management meetings. In order not to appear obstinate, the German directors are prepared to provide Mr Hartmann with all the information he wishes in order to enable him to carry out his mission, although in their opinion there is no need for such an assignment.
