Bureaucracy:

Is Austria maneuvering itself offside?

Examples from the Vorarlberg economy show that bureaucracy is taking up more and more space in everyday working life. Company representatives are warning and calling for solutions - otherwise there could be serious consequences.

Working days of 15 hours are not uncommon for master baker Wolfgang Fitz from the Schwanenbäckerei bakery in Wolfurt. He recently gave "Vorarlberg Krone" an insight into his day-to-day work. He talks about how much bureaucracy has taken over him in the meantime. After spending six hours in the bakery, he has to deal with the paperwork, as the law stipulates countless documentation, information, publication and reporting obligations.
