Berlin calls for EU action plan to cut bureaucracy

The German government wants to join forces with France to push for increased efforts to cut bureaucracy at the EU level. It is calling on the EU Commission to „draw up an ambitious action plan for acceleration and relief measures that can be implemented in the short term,“ according to a discussion paper for the cabinet meeting in Meseberg. In addition, an ambitious agenda is needed for the coming years on how important investment projects can be accelerated and how companies and administrations can be relieved.
