Christian Wulff , on behalf of the government of Lower Saxony, was awarded the negative Big Brother Award in the category "Authorities and Administration" in 2005 for the dismantling of data protection supervision in Lower Saxony, which was to be assigned to the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior from 2006, and the associated disregard of Directive 95/46 / EC (data protection Directive) , which calls for a complete independence of the data protection Inspectorate.

Lower Saxony State Center for Political Education

The Lower Saxony State Center for Political Education (abbreviation: NLpB) was dissolved by a cabinet decision on December 31, 2004. There were considerable protests against this, including by the Federal Agency for Civic Education .

Abolition of the district governments in Lower Saxony

The abolition of the eight district governments in Lower Saxony (there were the administrative districts of Aurich , Braunschweig , Hanover , Hildesheim , Lüneburg , Oldenburg , Stade and Weser-Ems ) was a central project of this legislative period. A report published in 2006 judged that this abolition had predominantly brought disadvantages and deterioration.
