Friedrich Merz and the state premiers decided on around 200 measures last week to cut red tape and boost digitisation. Is this now the big breakthrough Germany has been waiting for? No. But an important intermediate step. Among the plans for digitising government:

• Central online vehicle registration: in future, registering, deregistering, or re-registering a vehicle should be possible online nationwide via a central platform.
• Digital driving licences and vehicle documents instead of paper cards in your wallet.
• Simpler, faster company formation: introducing a digital company-formation platform.
• And most importantly: emails are finally being recognised as a legally valid form of communication.

Which measure do you think is most important?
