Dolgavan Prime Minister Toivo Meri and his government announced today that they will be adopting a "pro-manufacturing" policy and that the Reiksaima and the Meri Government, will be repealing tons of legislation that they say "handicaps and cripples", Dolgavan manufacturing.

The plan revolves around repealing over 400 bureaucratic regulations, that were instituted by the Ministry of Economics and the Ministry of Energy. The biggest regulation has been the fact that no new large coal refineries, or large mines. This has hampered the extraction of Dolgavan coal, which has hampered Dolgava's steel mills and many other industrial operators.

This along with strict pollution regulations, which has done more to hamper the responsible burning of fossil fuels, by limiting the refining capacity of these fossil fuels. The regulations that have been put into place, are simply backfiring on both the Dolgavan economy and the environment.

Today Meri said that "the age of red tape, strangling our businesses, and industries is over! For too long we have self hampered our economy in the name of protecting the environment, when we have been doing the opposite. We will still have clean air and clean water, and we will still be able to enjoy the outdoors, but we will be able to burn coal and other fossil fuels cleaner and more effectively, it will also keep our businesses, from adopting policies that are inefficient and ineffective, and it will put a boost back into the Dolgavan economy! One that we need desperately!"

The Social Democrats have criticized the policy calling it "reckless and dangerous". The leader of the Social Democrats Bonaventūra Krauze made a fiery speech saying that, "The Prime Minister is too busy bailing out, and helping our his rich billionaire buddies, instead of making life better for average Dolgavans. He is risking our environment for the sake of his friends!"

Despite claims of the contrary, there will still be environmental regulations for businesses, and fossil fuel mines, especially coal mines will not be dumping hazardous waste into Dolgava's environment, but the unessisary regulations of past governments has now been stripped away, and in doing so, it will make things cheaper and better for Dolgava, and give Dolgava an advantage on the world stage in terms of trade.
