UNOS-Michael Bernhard: Apparently it’s a carnival joke when the largest faction in the chamber criticizes circumstances for which they themselves are partially responsible.
Vienna (OTS) – “The statements made by Economic Association Secretary General Kurt Egger read like a carnival letter,” says UNOS federal spokesman Michael Bernhard, astonished regarding an article in the “Kronen Zeitung” in which Egger complains regarding the bureaucracy for companies in Austria. “The Economic Association has a decisive voice in the long-term governing party ÖVP and is the over-dominant faction in the Chamber of Commerce and is therefore largely responsible for the bureaucratic madness in this country,” criticizes Bernhard. “So it is obviously a carnival joke when the largest faction in the chamber criticizes circumstances for which they themselves are partially responsible.”
“Either in the hustle and bustle of carnival they have forgotten what they have done over the past decades or these statements are the first step towards self-criticism. – I don’t have the faith for that alone,” said the UNOS federal spokesman, pointing out that Egger should first sweep in front of his own door, namely the “bizarre bureaucratic building of the Chamber of Commerce organization.” UNOS advocates a complete reorganization of the WKO and voluntary membership. Bernhard: “The existing system of 10 chambers and more than 600 specialist organizations with compulsory membership for companies is a relic from times gone by. The battle for the future cannot be won with this.”
“If Mr. Egger wants to reduce the bureaucracy for entrepreneurs, he can also work to clear out the trade regulations and advocate for a reduction in the number of regulated trades from the current 75 to 30, as UNOS has been calling for for a long time. Only activities that typically pose a risk to life and limb should require proof of competency,” says Bernhard.
UNOS – Entrepreneurial Austria has represented the interests of liberal-minded entrepreneurs since 2014 and is present in five economic parliaments.
