2. Reduce the severity of punishment, but increase the probability of getting punished
3. Reduce the costs relating to enforcement
4. Increase the speed of providing remedies
5. Reduce the possibilities of abuse of the new system.

6. Increase the incentives for the state and the enforcement agents to engage in enforcement in a fair, transparent and efficient manner.
