Edtstadler presents plan against bureaucracy: Salzburg's path to efficiency!
In the Salzburg state parliament, Governor Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) today presented innovative measures that pursue the goal of accelerating approval procedures and reducing bureaucracy. In its three -point plan, Salzburg's long -term securing as an attractive business location is at the top of the agenda. meinzirk.at reports that a new "house mind check" should be introduced for all laws and regulations to ensure more practical relevance and accessibility.
A central element is also the establishment of a deregulation team that consists of experts from business and communities. Their task will be to process a proposal catalog that is to further reduce bureaucracy. Salzburg also plans more intensive use of artificial intelligence in administration. The country is already working on pilot projects in cooperation with the federal government as part of the "GovTech" association.
Entbureaucratization checks for efficient administration
Another highlight of the plan is the introduction of a de-bureaucratization check. This will check the practicality, proportionality and effect of state laws and novellas. A clear example affects the approval for the Stegenwald hydropower plant, whose procedures surprisingly lasted five times as long as the actual construction.
The reactions to Edtstadler's announcements are mixed. While the SPÖ doubts the feasibility of the measures and criticizes the lack of implementation since 2013, the Greens are generally supportive, but require clear limits to protect nature and species. The FPÖ also agrees, but demands more than just new test methods. Party chairman Marlene Svazek made it clear that the reduction of bureaucracy and the strengthening of personal responsibility should be a greater priority.
Bureaucratic reduction at the federal level
In a broader perspective, the topic of reducing bureaucracy is not only important in Salzburg. At the federal level, the State Secretary Committee "Better Legal Agency and Bureaucracy Reduction" is brought into play, coordinating measures by the federal government and preparing the fourth bureaucracy relief law. The National National Stand Control Council (NKR) also plays an important role by checking the performance effort of new laws and creating transparency on bureaucracy costs. The Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy provides more information on the topics at the federal level).
In addition, a plan of measures is required to relieve companies at European level, which also finds strong political support in Germany and France. Here the focus is on the simplification of reporting obligations and the introduction of a bureaucracy cost index.
Finally, it should be mentioned that modern administrative approaches, such as those implemented in Baden-Württemberg, could serve as role models. The development of online management services that are user-centered and saves many time and costs are a sign of how efficiently administrative processes can be designed through digitization. Baden-Württemberg shows how to get a step further through interdisciplinary teams and digital solutions.
