Problems, Problems: When Professors (in Germany) Are Too Successful – 2
“In fact, outside funding can have its disadvantages. Individual scientists are glad to accept it, but it can leave German university administrators with a bitter aftertaste. Of course any university is happy to be embellished with additional millions in government or foundation grants. Large amounts of outside funding are a seal of approval on the university’s overall efforts and they will improve its ranking. However, Burkhard Rauhut, Rector of the Aachen University of Technology, explains that ‘from a purely mathematical standpoint, outside funding is in the end like a partial subsidy for additional expenditures that German universities are thereby drawn into’.”

Probleme, Probleme: Wenn der Professor (in Deutschland) zu erfolgreich ist – 2
„Tatsächlich ist der Erfolg beim Einwerben so genannter Drittmittel zwiespältig. Was einzelne Wissenschaftler freut, verursacht bei deutschen Hochschulleitungen nicht selten einen bitteren Nachgeschmack. Zwar schmücken sich alle Universitäten gern mit den Millionen, die staatliche Geldgeber oder Stiftungen für den Haushalt beisteuern. Hohe Drittmittel gelten als Gütesiegel und werden in allen Rankings hoch bewertet. »Rein rechnerisch jedoch ist jedes Drittmittelprojekt für die Universität ein Zuschussgeschäft«, sagt Burkhard Rauhut, Rektor der RWTH Aachen.”

Problems, Problems: When Professors (in Germany) Are Too Successful – 1
“Headline (over the original article): ‘Researchers who receive outside funding cost their universities money (in Germany). The government wants to compensate for that in the future.’
“A professor says to the head of his university: ‘I have some good news and some bad news for the university. The good news is that I’ve gotten some outside funding for my research.’
“ ‘And the bad news?’.
“ ‘The bad news is that I’ve gotten some outside funding for my research’.”

“Hitler’s tirades against government bureaucracy were well known to all those who came into contact with him. His scorn for legally minded administrators knew no bounds. He took the view that their number could be cut by two-thirds….It was easy to gain his support for the action to reduce bureaucracy. To implement any such measures was a different matter.” – Kershaw, Ian, “Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis”, Penguin Press, London, 2001

“No one should think that the Gordian knot has been cut. ‚An awareness of the problem has increased,’ says Werner Jann, Professor of Administration and Organization in Potsdam. But he believes it’s ‘an illusion’ for ordinary people to think that bureaucracy is going to be reduced any time soon.”

“Herbert Henzler, former head of the McKinsey consulting firm in Germany is fundamentally skeptical: ‘Experience with earlier attempts at reducing rules and regulations shows that after a short time the weeds grow back again.’ The Saarland Interior Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer says, ‘Sometimes you feel like you’re in the jungle. You cut the path ahead of you free with your machete – but behind you the undergrowth just closes in again’.”

“The sort of progress made in the Netherlands has given the German government the incentive to start considering a sort of ‘bureaucracy test’, similar to the safety test required for motor vehicles. The plans call for a ‘control council’ to be set up, which in itself sounds somewhat bureaucratic but which would be a committee of experts who would examine every draft law to see if it is really necessary and to project what the real cost would be. The committee would have direct access to the Chancellor so that it could not be outmaneuvered by any government ministry. Fighting the law’s supporters would then be up to the Chancellor.”

„Das spornt die Große Koalition in Berlin an, die einen deutschen Bürokratie-TÜV einsetzen will. Im Zentrum der Bemühungen wird ein so genannter Normenkontrollrat stehen. Klingt zwar wiederum bürokratisch, ist aber ein Gremium von Fachleuten, das alle Gesetzentwürfe darauf abklopft, ob sie überhaupt notwendig sind und welche Kosten sie verursachen. Und damit das neue Gremium mit seinen Erkenntnissen nicht von den Ministerien ausmanövriert wird, hat der Vorsitzende das Recht, direkt bei der Kanzlerin vorzusprechen. Dann kommt es auf den Willen Angela Merkels an – und sie muss den Kampf mit den Paragrafen-Lobbyisten aufnehmen.”

“Transparency could be useful here. In the contract that the political parties in Germany’s current governing coalition have signed with each other, there is criticism of the fact that ‘even today in Germany there exists no method of determining or predicting what bureaucratic costs are involved in any new law.’ At least that should be changed in the future. Our neighbors, the Dutch, are setting us an example of how that can be done. Within five years, they want to be able to reduce by a quarter the costs of government bureaucracy for private business. It looks as though they may be able to reach that goal in only three years.”

„Transparenz könnte da helfen. Der Koalitionsvertrag bemängelt, dass »bis heute in Deutschland keine Methode existiert, bestehende Bürokratiekosten zuverlässig zu erfassen und für neue Gesetze sicher vorherzusagen«. Das zumindest soll sich künftig ändern. Wie das geschehen kann, machen die Niederländer vor (siehe Seite 20). Die Nachbarn der Deutschen wollen die Bürokratiekosten für Unternehmen in fünf Jahren um ein Viertel zu reduzieren. Und es sieht so aus, als ob sie dieses Ziel sogar schon nach drei Jahren erreichen würden.”

“What had begun with such promise, though, proceeded by fits and starts. ‘The bureaucracy has an incredible ability to persist, to go on existing’, says Rothe. There’s always someone who benefits from some rule or regulation – special interests in the legislature or in various organized groups, or civil servants who succeed stopping any dismantling in the framework of laws. They fear the end of their prestige and power, and often the end of some privilege they have. And that’s when those who represent their interests swing into action. ‘Dismantling bureaucracy is just as difficult as getting rid of government subsidies,” Michael Fuchs observes, while even he complains about his colleagues. ‘Even members of the legislature do everything they can to make sure certain regulations are kept on the books’. They keep their client-constituents in mind just as lobbyists keep in mind the goals of those who hire them.”

„Was so kraftvoll begann, kam weiter unten indes nur auszugsweise an. »Die Bürokratie hat ein unglaubliches Beharrungsvermögen«, sagt Kammerchef Rothe. Irgendjemand profitiert immer von einem Paragrafen – Spezialisten im Parlament und in den Verbänden, Staatsdiener, die das Gesetzwerk durchsetzen. Sie fürchten das Ende von Prestige und Macht und nicht selten das Ende eines Privilegs. Dann treten ihre Interessenvertreter in Aktion. »Bürokratieabbau ist ebenso schwierig wie Subventionsabbau«, hat Michael Fuchs beobachtet und schimpft auch auf Kollegen: »Da rennen sich auch Parlamentarier die Hacken wund, um bestimmte Paragrafen zu bewahren.« Sie denken ebenso an ihre Klientel wie die Lobbyisten an ihre Auftraggeber.”

“Within a short time, representatives from various towns and districts, from the labor office, from business and industrial organizations, and from government ministries had worked out specific steps to be taken to reduce bureaucracy. Above all, they wanted to shorten the protracted approval process that anyone starting a business in Germany has to deal with. They also wanted to get rid of nonsensical requirements for reporting various statistics.
In April 2004, the German minister of economic affairs presented thirty-four specific suggestions for reducing bureaucracy to the federal cabinet. At least half of them came from the geographical area under consideration here.”

Von den 34 konkreten Vorschlägen, die der Bundeswirtschaftsminister im April 2004 dem Kabinett zur Billigung vorlegte, stammte am Ende immerhin die Hälfte aus Westpommern.”

“Hitler’s tirades against government bureaucracy were well known to all those who came into contact with him. His scorn for legally minded administrators knew no bounds. He took the view that their number could be cut by two-thirds….It was easy to gain his support for the action to reduce bureaucracy. To implement any such measures was a different matter.” – Kershaw, Ian, “Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis”, Penguin Press, London, 2001

If Hitler Couldn’t, then Who Can? (Naturally Not a Problem, though, at the Technical University of Munich) – 12
“The Ministry of Economic Affairs in Berlin had for a long time been asking for a regional approach to the problem of bureaucracy. The result: three test regions were given the opportunity of making a realistic attempt to solve the problem and to make suggestions that could be implemented on a nation-wide basis. The West Mecklenburg region under the supervision of the Schwerin Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been particularly active in this effort. The chamber’s business director, Klaus-Michael Rothe, describes the struggle against rules and regulations in terms of the ‘insane amount of time’ required: ‘The whole thing was much more difficult than we had even feared’.”

„Wenn Hitler es nicht schaffen konnte, wer denn? (Dies ist aber natürlich kein Problem an der Technischen Universität München) – 12
„Das Wirtschaftsministerium in Berlin fördert seit längerem regionale Ansätze. So erhielten drei Testregionen die Chance, den Bürokratieabbau konkret zu proben und Vorschläge zur bundesweiten Umsetzung zu machen. Besonders aktiv ist die Region Westmecklenburg unter der Regie der Industrie- und Handelskammer zu Schwerin. Deren Hauptgeschäftsführer, Klaus-Michael Rothe, schildert den »irrsinnigen Zeitaufwand« im Kampf gegen die Paragrafen: »Da war ein viel dickeres Brett zu bohren, als wir es ohnehin befürchtet hatten.«”
