Nearly two months have passed since Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs of the United List pledged to quickly simplify the procedure for approving construction projects, but no concrete solution or introduction date has emerged. The prime minister's statement concerned the way private individuals and companies coordinate construction approvals. Despite the pledge, neither a final proposal nor a timeline for implementation has been made public.

At present, construction approvals appear to be continuing under the existing rules, as no new solution is available. Those affected by the procedure — both individuals and businesses — are still unable to learn what changes to expect or when they might take effect. There is also no indication of when the new process could be introduced.

The promise was to make the system simpler without delay, yet so far no draft or deadline has appeared. This means the current administrative procedure remains unchanged, and uncertainty about potential reforms persists. How and when the promised simplification will actually be carried out is still unknown.
