The business association Sachsenmetall and the Saxon Business Association (VSW) are calling for a much more ambitious reduction in bureaucracy in Saxony, including immediate measures and binding targets. As a result of a study carried out by the Dresden Institute for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Regional Development (Imreg) on behalf of the associations, they are proposing, among other things, that old rules be abolished in favour of new ones and that administrative digitization be driven forward more consistently.
Simplified reporting obligations, less regulation and faster visa and recognition procedures for foreign skilled workers should noticeably reduce the burden on companies and ensure the international competitiveness of Saxony as a business location. This study should serve as a basis for discussion with Saxony's state politicians, Sachsenmetall CEO Carsten Büttner told the German Press Agency in Dresden.
