“Rigorous reduction in bureaucracy and a clearly noticeable reduction in reporting requirements for companies, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are essential for promoting successful entrepreneurship. Now is the last chance for a turnaround and an effective reduction in bureaucracy. Our companies should their Use resources for the purpose of your company and not spend a large part of your time fulfilling reporting obligations. It is a glimmer of hope that the experienced EU Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis will for the first time be given direct responsibility for simplifying EU rules and reducing bureaucracy and examining EU legislative proposals for their actual feasibility for our companies,” says Angelika Winzig, deputy. Head of delegation and economic spokesperson for the ÖVP in the European Parliament, on today’s hearing with Dombrovskis, designated EU Commissioner for Economy, Productivity, Implementation and Simplification.
“I am sure Dombrovskis has the best intentions. Now it is important that the entire Commission finally puts words into action. The plan is to reduce reporting requirements for companies by at least 25 percent and for SMEs by 35 percent. The one-in-one-out rule is promised again, which means that for every new EU law, an old one must be thrown out. Unfortunately, this hasn’t worked so far. I have also been calling for a review of new EU legislative projects for their impact on SMEs and the competitiveness of our economy for a long time. Now it is up to Dombrovskis to actually bring these promises to life as quickly as possible,” concludes Winzig. (Ending)

**Interview with Dr. Elena Müller, EU Policy Expert**
**Interviewer:** Good afternoon, Dr. Müller. Thank you for joining us to discuss the recent report about the federalist reforms planned by Brussels. Can you give us an overview of what these reforms entail?
**Dr. Müller:** Good afternoon! Yes, the upcoming federalist reforms in the EU aim to significantly overhaul the Union’s decision-making structure by 2030. The focus is on creating a more streamlined process to improve efficiency and reduce bureaucratic hurdles that currently slow down decision-making.
**Interviewer:** What are some of the key changes that are being proposed?
**Dr. Müller:** One major aspect is the rigorous reduction of bureaucracy. The EU aims to achieve a more cohesive approach to policy-making by decreasing the layers of administration and cutting down on excessive reporting requirements for member states and businesses. This is crucial for facilitating quicker responses to emerging challenges.
**Interviewer:** How do you think these changes will impact member states?
**Dr. Müller:** If implemented effectively, these reforms could result in a more unified EU where member states collaborate more closely, leading to faster legislative action. However, it’s important to consider that some member states may feel that such a shift towards federalism could dilute their sovereignty.
**Interviewer:** There’s always a debate around federalism in the EU. How do you see this playing out with public opinion?
**Dr. Müller:** That’s a particularly complex issue. While there’s a strong push among certain EU institutions for deeper integration, public opinion varies significantly across member states. In some nations, there is skepticism about giving up more control to Brussels, while in others, there is support for more unified governance. The challenge will be addressing these differing views while aiming for a consensus.
**Interviewer:** What do you think is the long-term vision behind these reforms?
**Dr. Müller:** The long-term vision is to create a more integrated Europe that can respond to global challenges—like climate change, security threats, and economic instability—swiftly and effectively. The hope is that a more federal structure will enable the EU to act as a more cohesive entity on the global stage.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Müller, for your insights on these significant developments in EU policy-making.
**Dr. Müller:** Thank you for having me!
