Government plans simpler state administration

The government will apply measures to cut red tape and make the lives of ordinary people using state administrative services easier, Zoltan Kovacs, State Secretary in charge of government communications, told a news conference on Tuesday.

The government will instruct the ministries to work out conditions for simplified formats in a total of 232 areas such as family and child services, naturalisation, property administration as well as employment and agriculture, Kovacs said.

Kovacs said that the measures, part of the government’s public administration development programme, seek to eliminate overlaps and save citizens from paying billions of forints in multiplied administrative charges.

Another goal, Kovacs added, is to ease the burden on civil servants.
