Special committee in Potsdam: Focus on bureaucracy for Brandenburg!

In Potsdam there is a significant technical discussion today that deals with a topic that affects many people in Brandenburg: reducing bureaucracy. The focus is on digitization in the state and municipal administrations. The special committee of the state parliament has set itself the task of examining the current administrative structure and developing proposals for simplification. The livestream of the public session will be available on the website of the state parliament, whereby a recording in the media library is also provided. Invited experts, including Jens Graf from the Brandenburg and Josephine Bowe municipal association from the Brandenburg District Council, will bring in their perspectives to develop solutions together.

The topic of reducing bureaucracy is not only important in the political committees, but also for the craft of central relevance. President Corina Reifenstein and managing director Manja Bonin recently met Marcel Penquitt and Lars Katzmarek from the SPD to communicate the most urgent demands of craft to politics. Penquitt, who heads the special committee, emphasizes that the parliamentary accompaniment of bureaucracy is particularly concerned. The recommendations of the committee should not only promote transparency, but also identify regulations that require revision or abolition.

reduction in bureaucracy as a task as a whole

How important the reduction in bureaucracy is, also shows in the recommendation of a non -partisan group of experts that have summarized comprehensive modernization measures for the state in 35 demands. These proposals were handed over to Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and aimed at strengthening the trust between the state and citizens. Bureaucracy reduction and digitization play a central role. The experts emphasize the need to clarify responsibilities and to loosen the documentation obligations for companies.

An example of the progressive digitization in administration is the desired bundling of social benefits on a central platform. This could not only make access to these services easier, but also reduce the administrative burden for citizens. Furthermore, the modernization of the immigration procedure and the termination of the confusion was proposed for responsibilities.

Those responsible, including Digitization Minister Karsten Wildberger (CDU), are optimistic that the recommendations from the interim report will flow into the political decisions. The will for cross -departmental cooperation is high, which could favor a successful implementation of the suggestions. The urgency of these reforms is highlighted by initiators such as Julia Jäkel in order to avoid future negative election results.

Today, today's day is not only an important step towards a more efficient administrative system, but also illustrates that reduction in bureaucracy is a challenge for society as a whole that concerns all areas. A good hand in the implementation could improve the life and business situation of many citizens and traders in Brandenburg.
