Grepping a pdftotexted recursive wget of today's session protocols (283 pdfs) from http://www.bundesrat.de/cln_179/nn_8690/DE/parlamentsmaterial/to-plenum/885-sitzung/to-node.html?__nnn=true I have not spotted any explicit mention of coal ("Kohle" - not only this poster but also TFA implied that building coal plants was explicitly voted on today in the Upper House).
What also *was* passed in the session was stuff related to Renewable Energy Acts being quite specifically geared towards adoption of renewable energy. Renewables are above 15% of electricity generation already, more than 5% by wind turbines alone. To keep perspectives, also note the planned phase-out of German government subsidies for coal mining is 2018, well before 2022.
While topologically a homeomorphism in that lousy metric space I'm living in those roundabout-induced "bulges" take more pedestrian distance than straight jaywalking at an intersection...
To clarify the intention of the (not purely theoretical) question: Being able to a quote from a publicly available and quotable (model) contract that company xyz does with their employees, legislation abc suggests etc would be useful when negotiating with customers/employers. "(Respected) company xyz, legislation abc does it that way too."
I've seen NDAs that comprise algorithmic/mathematical insights gained on the job/task. While I can understand value of trade secrets, this is problematic because it's impossible to get algorithms/mathematics out of one's head later, and most NDAs default to eternal (which is perfectly understandable for say customer medical data but difficult for algorithms). Am interested in precedents (either law/case law or codes of conducts in professional associations in any legislation of this world) how to find a fair dividing line (maybe by disentangling the privacy and the business secret protection aspects mixed into an NDA and giving fair limits to the latter).
