Packing ban
The packing ban means that a German budget law - or a committee of inquiry - may not be encumbered with topics that are not intended.
For the financial law of those following budgetary principle of Article 110. Paragraph 4 sentence 1 of the Basic Law, says the first sentence.:
"Only provisions may be included in the Budget Act that relate to federal income and expenditure and to the period for which the Budget Act is passed."
A distinction is made between the factual (federal income and expenditure) and the temporal packing ban.
Situation in the federal states
In the constitutional law of the federal states there is no uniform tradition of the budgetary prohibition of packaging. The Constitutional Court of Saarland ruled on March 13, 2006 that the inclusion of a law on recruitment and an amendment to the law on granting blindness assistance in the 2005 budget violated the prohibition of packing in the Saarland constitution.
Austria
The term is also used in Austrian budget law.
