German parliament hearing on tobacco tax draws scrutiny

Ahead of a Bundestag vote on changes to Germany's tobacco tax, parliamentary hearings are under way in which each faction may nominate its own experts. Commentators are examining the guest lists, with particular attention to which experts the CDU/CSU union chose for its four allocated seats. Critics are using the hearings to question how closely lawmakers align with tobacco industry interests before finalising the tax law.
Why now: The hearing gives the public a rare look at which experts political factions invite before a contested tobacco tax law is passed.
