Federal administrations suggest minimizing red tape within government institutions
The federal government is gearing up for a crucial cabinet meeting in October, which is expected to provide clarity on the relief measures being initiated and the concrete plans for reducing bureaucracy.
The push for bureaucracy reduction has been spearheaded by Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger (CDU), who has urged all ministries to submit concrete proposals. Many ministries have complied, and their relief projects are currently under evaluation.
The Ministry of Digital and State Modernization, led by Karsten Wildberger, has taken the lead in this initiative. The ministry's focus is on modernizing administration, improving online citizen services, data traffic, and network improvements.
One of the ministries that have submitted proposals is the Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Homeland, under Alois Rainer. The ministry aims to significantly reduce bureaucracy, particularly in reporting and documentation obligations. Plans include reintroducing the agricultural diesel refund to immediately relieve farms.
The government has a broad goal to cut at least 20% of federal administrative regulations, abolish the receipt obligation, suspend many statistical duties, and reduce bureaucracy costs for the economy by 25%. Annual bundling of reduction measures in at least one dedicated bureaucracy reduction law per year is also part of the plan.
The deadline for ministries to present their concrete plans for bureaucracy reduction was set for September 15. The internal government consultations regarding these proposals are ongoing, and the response from the relevant authorities is currently being evaluated.
While specific details about the relief measures and the relief projects have not been disclosed, the October cabinet meeting is likely to shed light on these matters. The meeting will likely disclose specific details about the relief measures the federal government is initiating and the progress made in the reduction of bureaucracy across various ministries.
A spokesperson for the federal government stated that the government is pulling together and initiating important relief measures, but did not provide specific details about these measures. The spokesperson also referred to ongoing internal government consultations regarding the proposals.
The ministries have reportedly presented a series of relief projects they are currently working on, but no specific details about these projects have been disclosed yet. The October cabinet meeting will likely provide more information about these projects and the relief measures being initiated by the federal government.
