Krause presents the results of the State Treaty and provides information on the agreement reached. The focus is on state security files. The agreement covers the handling of the Stasi documents and the use of a special representative who is charged with the development of a user order.

This should give cause for concern to everyone who is serious about democracy and the rule of law, both to politicians and of course to those who deal with it in the media and in the press"; Pictures of journalists and camera teams; Krause OT on the victims; Krause OT on the number of representatives: "If there is a special representative/advisory committee consists of three citizens of the GDR plus two citizens of the FRG/ then I assume that there must be six country representatives in this matter.
