The federal and state interior ministers have announced further measures in the fight against anti-Semitism, hatred and agitation.
"The protection of Jewish life and the fight against anti-Semitism are matters close to our hearts and a mandate," said Baden-Württemberg's head of department Thomas Strobl at the end of the Conference of Interior Ministers (IMK) on Friday in Rust, Baden.
In future there should be nationwide uniform standards for dealing with anti-Israeli gatherings in the vicinity of Jewish institutions.
In addition, anti-Semitic crimes are to be recorded more precisely in the police statistics.

So far, such acts have automatically been assigned to right-wing extremism if the cause is not clear.
With a view to the latest scandals involving right-wing extremist chat groups in the police, the ministers also spoke out in favor of a change in the law that would make it easier for public officials who exchange racist, anti-Semitic or xenophobic content to be prosecuted.
One of the IMK's topics was violence against women.
Every third woman becomes a victim of violence in her life, said the Baden-Württemberg interior minister.
In order to get this out of the dark field, misogynist crimes are to be recorded more precisely in the police recording systems in future.
As a lesson from the corona pandemic, the IMK also decided to set up a joint crisis management system for the federal and state governments. It is not about a shift in competence, said Strobl, but about improving interfaces. A competence center for crisis management is being examined, for example. The spokesman for the SPD-led ministries, Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Boris Pistorius, named the accident management of the coastal states or the GTAZ Joint Counter-Terrorism Center in Berlin as a model. A cross-border early warning system for crises and future-oriented resource management for the state and business are also planned.
