According to Christian Dürr, the implementation of the plans to reduce bureaucracy in the economy should be accelerated.
FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr is pushing the pace with plans to relieve the economy of bureaucracy. Dürr told the German Press Agency in Berlin that he wanted to suggest to his coalition partners in the Bundestag that they discuss it quickly.
“The common goal of the coalition must be: Regulate less, enable more,” emphasized Dürr. The proposals are on the table. After the parliamentary summer break, the plans of Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP) to reduce bureaucracy in order to strengthen the country’s competitiveness. The same applies to the Growth Opportunities Act of Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP). This provides for a whole series of tax policy measures to relieve the economy.
Economy suffers from “bureaucratic burn-out”
The economy needs two things, relief and bureaucracy reduction, said Dürr. “Our companies don’t want to deal with paperwork and complicated application procedures, they want to pursue their core tasks and invest.” The framework conditions would have to be improved for this.
On Friday, Buschmann spoke of the need for a “turnaround in bureaucratic burdens” for the economy. “My impression is that part of the German economy is really suffering from a bureaucratic burn-out,” Buschmann told the dpa.
The Minister of Justice wants to counteract this with the planned bureaucracy relief law. The key points for this are to be decided at a cabinet meeting at the end of August. “I’m in good spirits that we can do something substantial there,” said Buschmann.
