Ministry for Agriculture and Consumer Affairs of the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MLV)
Institution
Section overview
Description
The Ministry for Agriculture and Consumer Protection plans and prepares state laws which are then debated and adopted by the Landtag, the State Parliament. The Ministry carries out state, federal and EU laws, enforces compliance with those laws and co-ordinated the process via a range of agencies throughout the state which report to the Ministry. Other functions include support, advice and financial assistance for individuals, community institutions, workplaces and business enterprises. We inform and assist when it comes to compliance with statutory standards, and we aim to encourage and promote the work of volunteers. The people of North Rhine-Westphalia expect the government to adhere to a culture of dialogue instead of ‘knowing better’; they want better efficiency and leadership. With those objectives in mind, the State Government has embarked on a major programme to reform civil service structures.
