The public administration of tomorrow is digital.
Efficient, transparent, citizen- and business-friendly – what will the administration of tomorrow look like? How can effective and sustainable governance be achieved? The key to modern public administration is digitisation.
In Germany, the Law for the Improvement of Online Access to Administration Services requires federal, state and local authorities to offer their services digitally by the end of 2022. This will enable citizens and companies to process applications and administrative matters quickly and efficiently, regardless of time and location. To achieve this, certain preconditions must be established. This does not only involve the implementation of innovative technologies: Rigid structures must be made more flexible, processes must be modified and new administrative competencies must be built up.
From reducing administrative burdens to better regulation
But what good is the best administration if it is occupied implementing cumbersome legislation? Measures to reduce bureaucracy aim to lighten the burden of existing legislation for all stakeholders. Regulations are dismantled (deregulation), compliance requirements are reduced, and administrative procedures are simplified. The basis for this is the systematic assessment of current bureaucratic burdens.
The objective of better regulation is to avoid creating unnecessary bureaucratic burdens in the first place. Already during the legislative process, the (side) effects of any given regulation and its alternatives are taken into into consideration. The effort required to comply with the legal provisions should be kept as low as possible (impact assessment). In addition, the comprehensibility and digital practicability of regulations are ensured.
