Bratislava, October 7 (TASR) - The Finance Ministry has drawn up a list of more than 40 tasks for individual ministries to introduce changes designed to make the state administration more efficient, Finance Minister Ivan Miklos (SDKU-DS) said at a press conference on Thursday.
The ministries are expected to draw up proposals on implementing the tasks in a timely fashion, so they can be incorporated into the state budget for 2012.
According to Miklos, the Government has little time at its disposal to implement the afore-mentioned measures into the 2011 budget. It remains a Government priority for 2012, however.
"This material proposes a specific tasks for individual ministries to make the public sector management run more efficiently, help improve the public finances and introduce measures to achieve systematic savings not the just across-the-board cuts," said Miklos.
The basis for the change is represented by the notion that the state should engage only in those activities which it can carry out more efficiently than the private sector, while striving for maximum transparency and efficient use of public resources.
Likewise, state property is to be evaluated, and those assets deemed unnecessary should be sold via electronic auctions to the highest bidder.
