Key legal question
Whether the Federal Administrative Court Secretariat was competent to revoke Circle 1 accreditation and impose sanctions.
Extracted holding
The Secretariat was competent to decide on accreditation withdrawal and related sanctions under the Information Regulation.
Extracted reasoning
Article 16 VGG does not reserve this matter to the full court; the regulation assigns accreditation and its withdrawal to the Secretariat, and systematics and purpose support the same authority for sanctions.
