Description
The ‘From Rules to Freedom’ project offers citizens, businesses, institutions and public authorities the opportunity to submit ideas that lead to better public services, more scope for professionals and businesses, and greater self-reliance on the part of citizens. Under certain conditions, legislation can be temporarily suspended in order to experiment with these ideas/alternatives, making it possible to study the implications of abolishing or altering a rule. Successful experiments may lead to structural changes to the legislation in question. The project is also exploring whether there is a need for more scope to experiment with legislation.
