POINTS OF SINGLE CONTACT (ART. 6)

A joint working group (Federation and States) was set up at in February 2007.

In Brandenburg, a working group had been established at the same time.

Main issues:

- How many Points of Single Contact are needed ?

- Where should they be installed ?

10



Four possible solutions were being discussed:

1. Federal state/Länder

2. Local level

3. Chambers of commerce, of crafts, of lawyers, of architects etc.

4. Cooperation between local institutions and chambers

LEGAL DETAILS

The procedures have been implemented into the federal and 16 state administrative procedures acts.

In order to make the use of a PSC possible for the service provider, the specific law has to explicitly allow the use of a PSC.

e.g., Trade Regulation Act, Crafts Code
