Streamlining Proposals for Decreasing Government Redtape Push by Federal Agencies
The German federal government is gearing up for a crucial cabinet meeting in October, where the focus will be on deregulation and de-bureaucratization. This meeting is expected to provide clarity on the relief measures being initiated by the government, as well as the concrete plans submitted by various ministries.
One of the key players in these developments is the Ministry of Digital and State Modernization, led by Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger (CDU). This ministry, responsible for modernizing administration, reducing bureaucracy, and improving networks, is one of the federal ministries involved in the relief measures.
Minister Wildberger has been a strong advocate for reducing bureaucracy within federal ministries. As part of the national "immediate program for bureaucracy reduction," the government aims to reduce bureaucracy costs by 25%. This will ease regulations for small crafts businesses, such as simplifying GDPR and documentation duties, abolishing the receipt obligation ("Bonpflicht"), and eliminating requirements to appoint workplace officers. These measures are designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises by lowering training, further education, and documentation burdens.
The Ministry of Digital and State Modernization is also responsible for data traffic. The relief projects being worked on by the ministries are being done within the context of reducing bureaucracy.
The federal government's relief measures are still being discussed internally, with the October cabinet meeting serving as a key milestone. The Ministry of Digital and State Modernization is evaluating the feedback on these proposals, and federal ministries have submitted proposals to reduce bureaucracy.
The spokesperson for the government confirmed that they are on the same page regarding these relief measures. However, they did not provide details on specific plans related to these relief measures. The relief projects being worked on by the ministries are expected to become clearer during the October cabinet meeting.
The relief measures being initiated by the federal government are reportedly of great importance. The cabinet meeting in October is scheduled to discuss the focus areas of deregulation and de-bureaucratization, and the relief projects being worked on by the ministries are expected to play a significant role in achieving these goals.
As the October cabinet meeting approaches, the German public and businesses alike await the details of the relief measures and the government's plans for reducing bureaucracy. The deadline for ministries to submit concrete plans for reducing bureaucracy is September 15, as urged by Minister Wildberger. The upcoming meeting promises to be a significant step in the government's efforts to modernize administration, reduce bureaucracy, and support businesses.
