People can do a lot of amazing stuff if their hands aren't bound.
I remember reading a German's enterpreneurs lament about wanting to lay a single electrical cable between his two nearby buildings. The paperwork demanded by German authorities dragged for half a year. He said that a similar work in Poland was papered through in two weeks.
Or, as a friend of mine in Prague quipped: "We want to build traffic lights. We need 28 stamps, including one from a forest management service. The closest forest is 5 km away (3 miles) from said intersection, but they still need to confirm their approval."
The Baltics are comparatively lean in this regard and it shows.
Agree. The reforms of regulations are needed as much as ever right now. Let's hope for the best that our people will wake up to this and we will be able to withstand the oncoming crisis.
