The Norm Control Council, led by chairman Lutz Goebel, has issued a report calling for significant changes in the current approach to reducing bureaucracy.

This proactive approach aims to identify and address potential issues before new laws come into effect. The council believes this will not only streamline the implementation process but also reduce the overall administrative burden on businesses and citizens.
