federal level
The political and administrative level of the overall state in a federal system, as opposed to the level of the individual federal states or cantons.
Manche Gesetze werden auf Landesebene beschlossen, andere auf Bundesebene.
Some laws are passed at the state level, others at the federal level.
The word consists of 'Bund' (short for federal state/federation), the linking element '-es-', and 'Ebene' (level). So it literally refers to the level of the overall state.
Die Zuständigkeiten von Bundesebene und Landesebene sind klar getrennt.
The responsibilities of the federal level and the state level are clearly separated.
'Bundesebene' (federal level) is almost always used with the preposition 'auf' (on/at). The combination 'auf Bundesebene' (at the federal level) functions in a sentence like an indication of place or area.

In political and legal language, the word is often combined with verbs such as 'entscheiden' (to decide), 'regeln' (to regulate), 'beschließen' (to pass/decide), or 'verhandeln' (to negotiate/discuss).
