The 22 working groups of the SPD, Greens and FDP presented their results on individual subject areas.
These are now being negotiated at the top level.
Update, 1.30 p.m.:
The possible future government partners SPD, Greens and FDP are, according to the Greens parliamentary leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt, in agreement on the introduction of mandatory vaccinations in certain areas.
“We will need a compulsory vaccination for facilities, for nursing homes, for day-care centers, etc.
We will get this off the ground, ”said Göring-Eckardt on Monday in Berlin.
When asked, she confirmed that the members of the desired traffic light coalition were in agreement on this issue.
The initiative is not part of the reform of the Infection Protection Act, which is to be passed this week, but a separate legislative process, explained Göring-Eckardt.

Climate protection: Habeck warns of the failure of the traffic light coalition to achieve climate goals
Last week, Robert Habeck * (Greens) warned that the coalition negotiations would fail if the parties fail to agree on measures to meet the 1.5-degree target agreed in the exploratory talks. The aim is to stop global warming at 1.5 degrees compared to pre-industrial times, so as not to let the climate crisis escalate completely.
According to reports, it is also a matter of dispute how much money the potential coalition partners spend on investments and how these should be paid for.
The Verdi union is demanding a clear decision from the negotiators.
"I expect that they will not avoid the financing issues and enable sufficient investments in infrastructure and climate protection," said Verdi boss Frank Werneke of the German press agency.
The issue of distributive justice is also important in this context.
Formation of government in Germany: Greens insist on clarifying personnel issues unusually early
According to a report by Bild am Sonntag, the Greens insist on clarifying the distribution of the ministries between the three parties right at the beginning of the main round of negotiations on Monday.
Accordingly, one negotiator is said to have said that the willingness to compromise only increases when it is clear who has to implement what in the government.
In the past, however, it was usually customary to clarify personnel issues at the end of joint discussions.
