Book excerpt: The EU better regulation agenda is being reviewed by the European Commission, with the aim of improving its effectiveness with respect to the quality of EU legislation. This paper takes stock on the results achieved so far and points at a number of issues that could be tackled in Brussels in the years to come to improve the design of the better regulation system at the EU level. Measures are proposed to strengthen the accountability of the Commission in the selection of proposals that should undergo impact assessment, and in the application of the principle of proportionate analysis. In addition, this paper tackles the delicate issue of oversight - i.e., who should control the quality of IAs produced by Commission DGs - and discusses potential solutions to the current failure of the Common Approach to impact assessment. Moreover, the paper looks at the difficult co-existence of the impact assessment model with the Standard Cost Model currently being used to measure and eventually reduce administrative burdens. Finally, the paper proposes a number of changes in the role of IA and the SCM in the policy cycle. Some of the key insights of the paper are that: (i) the choice to perform IA on given proposals should be more effectively targeted at addressing key strategic priorities identified by the Council every year; (ii) that the Commission should be called to perform IA on any major amendment proposed by the Parliament and the Council during the co-decision procedure; (iii) that the SCM should be applied on any new Commission proposal, regardless of whether the proposal is subject to IA or not, and should also be updated after co-decision; and (iv) that given the stronger role played by the Commission in selecting and scrutinising proposals until they become legislation, there would be a strong need for some form of external oversight, limited to proposals that are awarded priority in the EU agenda.
Download or read book The EU Better Regulation Agenda written by Sacha Garben and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Regulation in the EU is a perennial and topical question which has important implications for the future direction of EU law. While actions directed at improving the quality and accessibility of EU regulation are not novel, in recent years the Better Regulation Agenda has significantly affected the structural organisation and day-to-day operation of the EU legislative process. Yet, many questions about the future of the Agenda remain, not least in light of Brexit. Exploring the Better Regulation Agenda (and its relation to the overall EU legal and political order) necessitates an integrated, interdisciplinary approach. This edited volume presents insights from economics, political science and legal scholarship. Furthermore, to allow full understanding, it examines institutional practice, where the Agenda is made and shaped on a daily basis. Hence, the book features contributions from the perspective of the work of the main EU institutions: the European Commission, the Parliament, the Council and the Court of Justice. This results in a seminal overview of the subject, of interest to scholars and practitioners alike.
Download or read book Regulatory quality in Europe written by Claudio Radaelli and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union and its member states are investing in ambitious programmes for ‘better regulation’ and targets of regulatory quality. This book, available in paperback for the first time, lifts the veil of excessively optimistic propositions covering the whole better regulation agenda. It provides an innovative conceptual framework to handle the political complexity of regulatory governance. It approaches better regulation as an emerging public policy, with its own political context, actors, problems, rules of interaction, instruments, activities and impacts. Focusing on the key tools of impact assessment, consultation, simplification, and access to legislation, the authors provide fresh empirical evidence on the progress made in the member states and in Brussels, drawing on an extensive research project and an original survey of directors of better regulation programmes in Europe. Radaelli and De Francesco show how indicators define, measure, and appraise better regulation policy, linking measures to policy processes in which the stakeholders learn by monitoring. Although better regulation is a top priority for competitiveness in Europe and the legitimacy of EU policy, the level of commitment and the development of tools vary considerably. The major challenge for better regulation is institutionalisation - this calls for clear choices in terms of what the EU wants from better regulation. Essential reading for academics (political scientists, lawyers, and public economists) and policy-makers in charge of regulatory reforms in governments and international organisations.

Download or read book Impact assessments in the EU written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-03-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inquiry was launched in summer 2009 in order to investigate the progress of the EU Better Regulation agenda. The agenda has been running since 2005 with the aim of cutting red tape, reducing administrative burdens and improving the legislative process by means of impact assessment. In January 2009, new Impact Assessment Guidelines were issued, which, among other things, introduced the inclusion of an "SME test", that is, an assessment of the particular impact any likely legislation would have on small businesses, to the standard Commission impact assessment. This report focuses to a large extent on the impact assessment process, in particular how IAs are produced, the role of the Impact Assessment Board in monitoring their quality, and their subsequent use by the European Institutions. The intention of this report is to take the views of various stakeholders in EU better regulation and to suggest areas where further examination might be necessary. It does seem to be the case that the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament are not making as full use of impact assessments as they might. Certain other areas have been highlighted where the situation is unclear and further investigation might be warranted. These include the conformity of IAs to the Guidelines, the production and use of IAs on comitology proposals, the adequacy of consultation exercises in the preparation of assessments, whether the SME test is working and the use of ex-post evaluation
Download or read book Impact Assessment in the EU written by Andrea Renda and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of ex ante and ex post impact assessment in streamlining the regulatory environment and improving the legislative process has been stressed by scholars and testified to by international best practices. The potential benefits of regulatory impact assessment are also being rediscovered by EU officials, who lose no chance to recall that the Commission's ambitious "growth and jobs" strategy heavily depends on the pervasiveness of impact assessment in the regulatory process at EU and member state level. This study, conceived for scholars and policymakers, provides an overview of the state of the art on impact assessment. It focuses on the latest developments in the United States, UK, and EU, and presents a scorecard analysis of the Commission's extended impact assessments. The author concludes with a road map for improving the transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of the EU Integrated Impact Assessment model.

Book excerpt: Oversight of executives has always been a key function of parliaments and one that is central to developing the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government. However, in reality governments are taking a more pronounced role in controlling legislation, diluting the influence of parliament. This book plots this trend in parliaments across Europe, to illustrate points of convergence and divergence. In so doing, it suggest tools and methods that parliaments can develop to bolster their crucial oversight role.
