Nevertheless, entrepreneurs expect simplification of procedures and reduction of administrative burdens, which will certainly affect their competitiveness and innovation.
Experts on deregulation: opinions from different perspectives

Prof. Tomasz Pietrzykowski from the Silesian University noticed, that changes in regulations should be seen as a simplification process rather than a classic deregulation.
– What direction the work is going in can hardly qualify as deregulation in the strict sense of the word. It is the addition of regulations – only much better. In the European Union, there is already talk of replacing the term deregulation with the word simplification – he noted.
and added that this approach better reflects the nature of contemporary changes in economic regulations.
