Udo Paschedag
Udo Paschedag (born September 27, 1954 ) is a German political official . From February 19, 2013 to September 3, 2013 he was State Secretary in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection . On September 3, 2013, the Lower Saxony state government decided to put him into temporary retirement .
Life and work
Paschedag studied law in Münster and then completed his legal clerkship at the Essen Regional Court. After completing his training, he joined the administrative judiciary judge in Lower Saxony in 1984. In 1987 he was seconded to the district administration of the Cuxhaven district as a department head for the environment, economy and transport, youth and social affairs . In the same year Paschedag was appointed judge at the administrative court for life. From 1991 to 1992 he was seconded to the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior in Hanover and from 2001 to 2003 to the Federal Environment Ministry (BMU) in Berlin. In 2003 he was promoted to head of department and was finally transferred to the BMU.
Paschedag is married and has one child.
politics
From 1996 to 2010 Paschedag was a member of the district parliament in the district of Stade for the group of the Greens . He also held this position during his professional activities in Berlin since 2001.
On July 16, 2010 he was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia, led by Johannes Remmel (Greens) . Since February 19, 2013, he has been State Secretary in the Lower Saxony Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection under Minister Christian Meyer in the Weil I cabinet .
After moving to Lower Saxony, Paschedag was mentioned several times in the media. As a “green” state secretary, for example, he ordered an Audi A8 as a company car , even though the state government's guideline stipulates smaller vehicles for this. He also had his office equipped with air conditioning.
The recruitment of a personal assistant and his salary according to salary group B 10 , which is higher than the usual salary of state secretaries in Lower Saxony, but the usual salary in North Rhine-Westphalia, from where he was transferred as a civil servant, were also objected to. In this context, it was noticeable that in a cabinet decision initially private reasons for the change were put forward, but he was finally brought to Hanover for business reasons. This secured his old salary group; if he had been transferred for private reasons, he would have been paid according to B 9, as is customary in Lower Saxony for state secretaries.
On August 29, 2013, Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) announced the recall of Paschedag. Paschedag had violated trust by providing incorrect written information about his company car. "Against this background, the prerequisites for a successful cooperation are no longer given," said Weil in the state parliament plenum. The dismissal took place in the cabinet meeting on September 3, 2013.
