Modernising public administration – why a reform priority in the EU? • Capacity of public administration is key to deliver on our reform agenda. • Public finances are constraint. • Administrative capacity determines the ability to use EU structural funds. • Removing red tape, providing client-oriented services and making justice more efficient encourages entrepreneurship and business activity. 5
Modernising public administration – what EU recommendations look at? • Increasing efficiency of public administration • Digitalisation of public administration and public procurement • Quality, independence and efficiency of judicial systems, increasing the use of alternative dispute mechanisms. • Stepping up admin capacity to make better use of EU structural funds and to ensure speedier distribution of unused fund. 6
