The Senior Union at CSU unveils a set of recommendations for restructuring Bavaria's administrative system
**Bavaria's Senior Union Proposes 15 Measures to Reduce Bureaucracy**
The Senior Union of the CSU in Bavaria has presented a comprehensive package of 15 proposals aimed at reducing bureaucracy across the region. The proposals, which focus on streamlining administrative processes and improving efficiency in public administration, were handed over to Walter Nussel, the commissioner for bureaucracy reduction of the Bavarian state government.
Gottfried Hähnsel, district chairman of the Senior Union in Swabia and second mayor of Wemding, summarised the proposals. He stated that the measures cover a wide range of themes, including simple, concrete proposals and complex considerations of different areas of action. Hähnsel's motto is "Dare less bureaucracy - it's high time!"
The proposed measures include the use of digital processes to simplify administrative procedures, the raising of EU threshold values to reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs, and a review of administrative structures to eliminate over-regulation.
The Senior Union's proposals also highlight the need to support forest owners and land-based enterprises by reducing unnecessary bureaucratic requirements in specific sectors. This aligns with calls from political leaders to relieve these industries from red tape.
In addition, the proposals focus on areas crucial for the Senior Union, such as healthcare, care, and pensions, as well as the municipal sphere. The Senior Union's state chairman, Franz Meyer, emphasized the need to abolish the requirement for Europe-wide tendering for certain contract volumes in nursing homes.
Hähnsel collected ideas and proposals from all parts of Bavaria, reflecting the widespread concern about bureaucracy's impact on various industries, particularly those already struggling, such as care services. He wrote in his foreword that bureaucracy not only consumes time but also exacerbates the supply problem in the healthcare system.
Walter Nussel accepted the collection of proposals from the Senior Union and promised to incorporate the concrete suggestions into his work. Hähnsel considers the compiled package of 15 proposals to be only a first step in reducing bureaucracy in Bavaria. He will continue his work as the commissioner for bureaucracy reduction of the Senior Union.
While the detailed 15-point list of concrete proposals by the Senior Union specifically for Bavaria is not directly available, it would be best to consult the official communication or publications from the Senior Union of the CSU or Bavarian government sources for the most accurate and comprehensive overview, including the exact measures.
The Senior Union's proposed measures in policy-and-legislation include digitalization to simplify administrative procedures, raising EU threshold values to alleviate burdens on SMEs, and reviewing administrative structures to eliminate over-regulation. Furthermore, the proposals emphasize the need for politics to support forest owners and land-based enterprises by reducing bureaucratic requirements in specific sectors, which aligns with calls from political leaders for relief from red tape. These measures are part of the Senior Union's broader efforts to address bureaucracy in various industries such as healthcare, care, and pensions, with a particular focus on caring services.
