  "account": "Johannes Winkel, deputy head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, has rejected a proposal by Matthias Miersch, head of the SPD parliamentary group, to involve parliamentary groups and state government leaders in preparing the pension reform. Winkel emphasized the need for reliability and decision-making ability, citing previous agreements on implementing the pension commission's recommendations. Miersch had suggested involving parliamentary groups and possibly state prime ministers before a cabinet decision. The German government had agreed to implement the pension compromise as a package before the summer break.",
  "summary": "The SPD parliamentary group leader wants to take an extra round on pensions before the reform goes to the cabinet. States and parliamentary groups are to be involved. The already impatient Union is opposed to this.",
