A number of new regulations were agreed at a meeting of the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) and FIA president Max Mosley on Wednesday, prior to their approval by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council on Friday.
And although the new rules only revolve around cost cuts at the moment, Theissen believes the spirit of co-operation between the FIA and FOTA means that moves to improve the spectacle are now easily achievable.
"The decisions reached are a reflection of the intensive efforts made by the various FOTA working groups in recent weeks," Theissen told the official BMW Sauber website.
"The proposals for cost-cutting have also persuaded the FIA. That means we have now established a mutual basis for 2009, and in further stages for the following years, on which to carry out a restructuring of Formula One. The paramount aim in this will be to adapt to the economic environment.
"We will not, however, be neglecting the interests of the fans. Numerous suggestions are aimed at injecting the Formula One events with greater appeal. The approved measures will certainly require further fine-tuning, but with the spirit that has been shown over the last months, we will be able to resolve the details jointly as well."
