German version: File your application for a construction permit for less than €5000 (SCNR).

I've been around the Internet for a long long time and that's the first time I've seen "SCNR". As I had to search to see what it was I'd suggest you expand it in future usage.

You are right in the point you make though, continental Europe is awash with ridiculous red tape and pompous bureaucrats. Although I have to say I am surprised that the he "got away with it" in the UK as it's not much better there.

Of course, your comment wasn't any help, either.

It seems to stand for "Sorry, Could Not Resist".
