District Workers' Councils and the Central Workers' Council shall be
combined with the employers' representatives and local representatives
in District Economic Councils and in a Central Economic Council, for the
execution of their economic functions and for joint enforcement of the
Socialisation Laws. District Economic Councils and the Central Economic
Council shall be so constituted as to include representatives of all
important professional groups in proportion to their economic and social
importance.

be submitted by the Government of the Realm to the Central Economic

draft to the Reichstag with an explanation of its views. The Central
Economic Council may appoint one of its members to support the bill in
the Reichstag.
Functions of control and of administration may be transferred to
Workers' and Economic Councils within the spheres assigned to each.
