BCCI supports the Plan to reduce the administrative and regulatory burden

The Chamber demands additional measures, a clear time frame for implementation and responsible institutions


 
BCCI participated actively in the discussion of the Plan to reduce the administrative and regulatory burden and made proposals both during the discussion and prior to it by means of submitted position-papers, said Vasil Todorov, Secretary General of BCCI for Bulgaria on Air television. 

Generally, BCCI supports the Plan to reduce the administrative and regulatory burden and the measures included in it. The Government’s policy for managing regulations and quality assessment of the applicable regulations is crucial for creating conditions for competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy and economic growth. 

The Chamber monitors the problems faced by the business and whenever it obtains information about difficulties, especially ones related to regulatory regimes, it informs the competent authorities and recommends and proposes appropriate measures to be taken. 

The Plan, with 271 measures included in it, is not exhaustive. There are many proposals that we think would be appropriate to be included. 

For example, Vasil Todorov pointed out tacit acceptance. The Chamber thinks that the administration must be encouraged to provide high-quality services to businesses in a timely manner, and therefore the scope of application of tacit acceptance must be expanded, i.e. in case of inaction of the administration, whether on purpose or out of neglect, it is not right that the damages are borne by the business. It is very difficult to compensate for those damages and usually this involves going to court. The issue of liability of public officials also is not well regulated, meaning that there are no clear rules for seeking responsibility from public officials or the procedures are extremely lengthy. In this case the principle of tacit acceptance must be adopted not only as a general term, but by including it in specific regulations so that it can be applied in practice. 

Secondly, the Secretary General of BCCI pointed out the lack of clear time frame and responsible institutions – there are no deadlines and specific institution responsible for coming up with appropriate measures. This is a great weakness of such plans. Given that the plan is structured by ministries, BCCI insists that the experts of the respective ministries undertake to come up with specific proposals for amendment to the regulations cited in the Plan as soon as possible. 

The third issue, which is extremely important according to the Chamber, is related to electronic services and e-Government. BCCI and other business organizations have already established the respective infrastructure and started providing electronic services to businesses. It is important for us that electronic services become a top priority and be laid down as real measures. In the Plan they are only schematically and superficially discussed. No legal, institutional and technical steps needed for their implementation have been specified.
