English Translation

Professional comrades in the Reich, whose seniority was determined according to the Reichsbearbeitungsgesetz, I therefore cannot agree with the Minister of the Interior of a general and unlimited extension of the deadline for the application of Sections II and III of the above-mentioned circular. However, I would like to accept the grounds of the Reichsressorts mentioned above under 1 and 2 for the new extension and, in agreement with the Reich Minister of the Interior, to agree that the seniority of the Sudeten Germans who were already employed in the Reich's service until 31 March 1994 is still fixed according to the Achcnives II and III of the Circular Decree of 9 February 1939, if they are employed as scheduled by 31 December 1994l or treated as scheduled officials under the regulations of the circular decree. The seniority of the Sudeten Germans, who are employed in the Reichsdienst only after 3l March 1994l, can then only be determined according to Reichsrocht. füP The reason given just under 3 for the extension could not be an extension of the period. Whereas the provisions of the Sudeten Decree on the remuneration r r r d, which are directly taken over in the Reichsdienst as scheduled civil servants as such, should not apply to those Sudetens Germans who have been taken over as preparatory or extra-scheduled civil servants; Their seniority should be fixed at the scheduled employment according to the Reich's salary law. This results from the regulation of their extra-scheduled service period and their diet service age in accordance with the Reichs remuneration law (Section Iv of the Circular Decree), 2. from the shortening of the period originally laid down for the establishment of the retirement age under Sections II and III of the Circular (June 30, 1939).
