The plan sets clear objectives as well as responsibility. I dare to assure you of tight supervision over promises. I am not going to read out the list of activities of the Action Plan. This is available on the government s home page. Nevertheless I would like to handle some of the issues more closely.
Administrative capacity is one of the key words.
The adoption of legislation has been relatively satisfactory whereas the implementation is often caught in the incapability of the bureaucracy, sometimes bringing along such doubt and distrust that the European Union has to pose a question whether Estonia is able to implement its excellent laws. Should the answer affirmative, we have to create an efficient, reliable, transparent and affordable administrative system. It is necessary to conduct the administrative reform and it will be completed before the next regular local elections anyway. This would mean neither governing Estonia from four regions nor employing hundreds of new officials. On the contrary, the administrative reform means efficient public governance with less but better and more efficiently trained officials.
