!!!Interessenvertretungen

Interest Groups, organisations which represent the shared concerns and 
claims of the groups concerned vis-à-vis the state, other 
organisations and associations. A distinction is made between 
statutory and free interest groups. Pluralist societies produce 
numerous differently organised interest groups, which, in many cases, 
also exert political influence; this is particularly true for the  
Chambers, which have compulsory membership, but also for strong free 
interest groups. The organs of interest groups are generally elected 
by the members of the organisation.
