The Association of Towns and Municipalities says the proposals, however, do not go far enough and that administrations should be generally more relieved. “In this regard, the federal government and the states can make a decisive contribution, which we also clearly expect. In the future, the so‑called ‘Goldplating’ must be eliminated” Berghegger said in the NOZ. “Guidelines, regulations, and laws should be implemented by the federal government and the states without setting additional additions or requirements. This eases the enforcement for municipalities and enables the use of digital solutions”.
