Abizov: crisis period is a good time for reforms The Minister for open government Mikhail Abyzov believes that crisis promotes reformsA crisis period is a good time to update, it gives an opportunity to realize the most daring ideas, which in normal life don't have enough resources, and determination. Challenges and risks in a crisis are not hypothetical in nature – most of them become a reality,” he said in an interview to the newspaper “Vedomosti”.He also noted the importance of the fact that at the end of the crisis period the willingness to implement change in government does not come to nothing, and the proposals were implemented.“With regard to reforms in the current situation, I would trade all reforms for a single judicial one. I consider this to be the most important priority for society and for business,” Abyzov added.In his opinion, the legislature should reconsider its attitude to rulemaking. "The number of laws that we produce need to be drastically reduced. It is not enough just to release them, you have to control their execution. We need to codify to ensure consistency of legal acts in many areas," the Minister said."We need to improve the public administration paradigm. The Ministry of Economic Development has prepared a proposal on this topic. At the beginning we need a 'one in - one out' principle: if you want to adopt a new act, you need to withdraw the old one," Interfax quotes Abyzov."When I proposed establishing a limit for the start - 15,000 laws in a year, to distribute it to all ministries, to leave a separate quota for the Prime Minister’s decision, and everything beyond that is under the condition of cancellation of existing laws. But this is only a concept for discussion," he concluded.
