 　　西班牙公共行政改革节省了10亿美元

　　MADRID, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Monday that so far the reform in public administration sector¹ has saved the country 7.384 billion euros (10.072 billion U.S. dollars).

　　Rajoy made the remarks while addressing an event held in the Palacio de la Moncloa, seat of the Spanish government.

　　The Spanish government announced public sector reform in June 2013 with an aim to save around 37.7 billion euros in public spending.

　　The reform includes more than 200 measures defined to lower spending in favor of greater efficiency in the public administration services.

　　The measures include efforts to simplify paperwork, eliminate unnecessary bodies or entities², speed up procedures and improve the management of public resources.

　　Around 23 percent of the measures have been already implemented³, Rajoy said on Monday, citing as examples the electronic invoicing⁴ and the law to enhance the unity⁵ of market rules across Spain, making it easier for companies to do business all around the country.

　　Spanish economy grew by 0.3 percent in the four quarter of 2013 after suffering a long financial crisis that forced the government to ask for a bailout.

　　The Spanish government needs to reduce its fiscal⁶ deficit⁷ in exchange of the bailout money provided by the European Union. Since Rajoy won general elections in 2011, a number of measures have been launched in order to meet the deficit target.
