The National Regulatory Control Council (NKR) is urgently calling for more speed in reducing bureaucracy – otherwise, from the committee's point of view, there is a risk of public administration collapsing in the medium term. “The administration is groaning,” says NKR chairman Lutz Goebel to the German Press Agency. More employees in the authorities are now retiring than new ones are coming. In the future, the administration will no longer be able to implement the laws, which are far too complex, let alone monitor compliance with them.
