The electronic exchange of documents will save time, enhance administrative efficiency and reduce administration’s expenses. According to the government this is one of the first serious steps to make up for the recent years’ delay of e-government. After the launch of the system the transport ministry solely will save at least BGN 300,000 annually from couriers who deliver documents manually.
The prime minister said the new, web-based system would make it evident whether the public administration works.
According to the most pessimistic forecast the administration will save BGN 400,000 annually, or BGN 2 million in the five above mentioned units.
