In his new term in office, the focus will continue to be on reducing bureaucracy. “The complexity of European and national legislation is now almost impossible for companies to understand. There are numerous examples of over- or double regulation, for example when the same regulatory content is regulated by different provisions at European and national level. Above all, the numerous reporting obligations are consuming more and more resources. For small and medium-sized companies, this is actually no longer manageable,” says Rollinger.
Other important topics include the planned reform of private pension provision, the insurability of extreme weather events and the handling of cyber risks. At the European level, the GDV President emphasises the importance of further developing the Capital Markets Union.
