Dipl.-Ing. Markus Weber M.A. Publicly certified expert for verification in greenhouse gas emission trading and aviation emissions by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hagen (Germany) |
In Germany publicly certified experts have a special role in the delivery of expert opinions due to their exceptional qualification. This role extends to expert opinions for courts, public attorneys, marshals or the police. It is because publicly certified experts are independent and impartial that the rules of procedure require German courts to call publicly certified experts to the witness box when they need an expert opinion (see German legal code, e.g. § 404 (2) ZPO; § 73 (2) StPO or § 98 VwGO).
