English Translation

55a seems to the government that it would be worrying to allow the rejection of the question of the formal qualification of the candidates to become the rule in the occupation of the aforementioned vice-president post, even more so to ignore this question in such an extraordinary way as would be the case if Schubert were appointed. Finally, the fact that Schubert does not have any practice at all in the political state administration, which necessarily exerted an unfavourable influence on his service, is also important. In view of the fact that, in the initial citation of the Office of the Imperial Protector, the wish expressed in the same statement is expressed in such a way that it is given the character of a temporary mandate, the Government is obliged to point out that the matter is undoubtedly in the competence of CACE.
