The Saxon administration is to become leaner, more efficient and faster. The aim is to restore trust in citizens, companies and local authorities, explained State Chancellery head Andreas Handschuh on Tuesday after the cabinet meeting. The government had previously adopted a so-called bureaucracy relief package with 32 specific measures. "Our goal is clear: less bureaucracy and less government and at the same time more freedom and more speed for Saxony."
Saxony clearly wants to cut red tape
"Fewer regulations, fewer requirements, more trust for companies, citizens and local authorities," said Handschuh, summarizing the motto. The red pencil will clearly be applied. "With this package of measures, we are committed to further simplifying and significantly streamlining state law." Handschuh assured: "We are taking a close look at our entire state law and looking at all reporting and verification obligations (...) Half of all reporting and documentation obligations will be eliminated by 2027."
