Much of the federal cabinet’s business is adopted ohne Aussprache, without discussion. These items are collected in the TOP-1-Liste, the list for agenda item 1. On 27 August 2025, the cabinet adopted 33 items in this way, among them draft bills, reports and many statements on bills from the Bundesrat. The government’s rules of procedure require cabinet papers to be sent so early dass für eine sachliche Prüfung ausreichend Zeit bleibt, that enough time remains for a proper review. According to the Bundestag’s research service, at least one week should pass between delivery and deliberation.
