The construction employer, Fepeco, warns that “the bureaucracy is a devastating pandemic for companies and employment.” Its president, Oscar Left, warns that the sector’s progress “will depend on the pace of economic recovery on the island, slowed down by an inefficient public administration.”
Izquierdo conveys “the discomfort of the businessmen of the sector, who can no longer take it, due to the faulty functioning of the public administration at all its territorial levels.” It states that it “obstructs the work of private initiative, as companies suffer unbearable delays in granting licenses and other procedures, even the simplest ones, that endanger their activity and resistance.”
Izquierdo concludes: “It is urgent to simplify procedures, with more agility and speed, in addition to expanding the use of the responsible declaration or the full digitization of procedures.”
