Introduction The Fourth Report of the Federal Republic of Germany in accordance with Article 25 (2) of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities was prepared by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in cooperation with other federal agencies and the re- sponsible state authorities, and in consultation with the associations of the national mi- norities protected by the Framework Convention. The associations were invited to share their views about the implementation of the Framework Convention in Germany, which are not necessarily in line with those of the authorities. Their written comments are in- cluded in Chapter E. of the present report. This report covers the period from February 2009 to December 2013. The German original and an English translation of the three preceding reports of the Federal Republic of Germany in accordance with Article 25 (2) of the Framework Con- vention, the subsequent comments of the Advisory Committee and the comments of the Federal Government are available on the website of the Council of Europe. 6 B. Accompanying measures In order to draw the attention of a broad audience to national minorities and their lan- guages, the Federal Ministry of the Interior published a new brochure on national minori- ties and the languages spoken by them in 2013. Since December 2012, an electronic version of this brochure can be downloaded from the Federal Interior Ministry's website. The printed version was made available in February 2013. Every year in early May Schleswig-Holstein hosts the European Week of Regions and Cities, in which the Minister-President’s Commissioner for National Minorities and Ethnic Groups, Border Area Work and Low German attends events where national minority pol- icy issues and the interaction between minority-related conventions and legislation at European, national and regional level are discussed. The Commissioner also informs students, scholarship recipients and junior police and administrative staff about Schles- wig-Holstein's government minority policy. In its report Schleswig-Holstein also mentioned an international expert conference, which was open to the public, and an expert workshop with the title "Shaping the Frame across the Cycles" which were organized by the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) in Flensburg on 5 and 6 July. The conference focused on academic and practical aspects of reporting in accordance with the Framework Convention. With a view to optimizing Sorbian language classes, especially bilingual instruction in Brandenburg, it is intended to commission a scientific study on Sorbian language clas- ses and bilingual instruction at primary school level. Based on the results of this study, classes and framework conditions could hopefully be improved. The authorities expect that such an evaluation and improvement of education opportunities and classes held in Sorbian will also raise awareness among the broader public. A similar effect is expected of the re-enactment of the Act Amending the Regulations on the Rights of Sorbs in Brandenburg planned by the Landtag. The government believes

Therefore prevention is very important in the community of Delmenhorst. The city of Delmenhorst has undertaken the task of avoiding injuries caused by accidents and violence by means of systematic precaution as far as possible. A successful prevention is the precondition for a cross-departmental and systematical approach. The prevention must not only include the reaction to the current occurrences, but must also include a comprehensive and systematic long-term, active strategy. With the report on hand “accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as safe community” the community of Delmenhorst applies for the acceptance to the international network of the “Safe Communities”. The stakeholders in Delmenhorst would like to learn from the experiences of other countries and they want to provide the international community with their knowledge regarding prevention.
