For years, the reduction of administrative burdens and regulatory pressure has been high on the agenda of politicians and policymakers. Removing barriers and reducing burdens allows entrepreneurs and managers to focus on the core processes of their businesses, on innovation, and on the economic growth of their company. Reducing regulatory pressure is thus part of a broader set of conditions that are important for a good living, working, and business climate. Unnecessary regulatory pressure not only distracts from the core economic tasks of companies but also leads to unnecessary business costs.
It is therefore essential to reduce this regulatory pressure. The Dutch government is taking significant steps in this direction and has set itself a quantitative target: to reduce regulatory pressure by 2.5 billion euros during this parliamentary term. Significant progress is being made through the accelerated use of the system of basic registries, strengthening cooperation between government inspections, and the 'Digital Government' project. In addition to this quantitative reduction in burdens, the Dutch government is also focusing on reducing less measurable but very noticeable regulatory pressure.
On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Dialogic is exploring how the reduction of this regulatory pressure can be measured through non-invasive methods (such as using the Internet as a Data Source, utilizing open data, etc.).
