The German government has updated its 2006 commitment to cutting bureaucracy, in a landmark decision dated 27 January 2010. The courtesy English translation of this interesting document is now posted on this site (not yet available elsewhere).
This is an unofficial summary of its contents for BR experts:
The 2006 federal programme is to be expanded to encompass compliance costs, once the appropriate methodologies have been developped.
New simplification measures will be adopted to reach the 25% reduction target by 2011; ministries will list and assess reduction measures by May 2010; a new federal plan will be adopted in July by the State Secretaries’ Committee;
Six priority areas have been selected including planning, tax declarations, business permits and electronic submission of company registration, citizens' application for services
New burdens created after 2006 will need to be offset by further cuts (net target);
Other measures include expanding the ex ante evaluation of effects of all new federal regulation proposals on citizens, businesses and public authorities, broadening the competences of the National Regulatory Control Council and pressing for similar action at EU level.
