French simplification boss states programme

This blog has reported on various occasions (see "France" category) on the French approach to simplification, including on the appointment of a clearly identified official in charge, Mr RĂ©mi Bouchez, who will be working from the PM's office.
In aninterview to a business paper, just published, the new incumbent states his purpose and working methods. The intentions are in keeping with standard practice, but the resources allocated (one stafff) are limited:
  • emphasis is on helping businesses, while the main thrust, within DG Modernisation's programme, encompasses also citizens and is not specially attuned to business needs;
  • measuring administrative burdens, dropped by DG Modernisation, makes a comeback, within RIA. New standing instructions will be issued shortly by the PM will task ministries.
