Interior Minister Yiannis Ragousis on Tuesday unveiled a new draft law, aiming to cut red tape and reduce bureaucracy by e-governance and a citizen's card.
A public debate on the draft law will open within the next few days while a vote in parliament will be held in March.
Ragousis stressed that the
implementation of e-governance will be mandatory for all public sector services allowing for transactions that are less time consuming and less costly. The cost of transactions in the public sector is expected to be reduced 25 percent.
Referring to the citizen's card, Ragousis stated that it will include the national cadastre number, the tax registration number, the social security number (Amka) and the police ID, underlining that all personal data will be fully protected.
