ERIF’s Ideas for the New Commission:
Better Regulation, Prosperity, Transition and Resilience
Better Regulation, Prosperity, Transition and Resilience
The EU has a strong track record in Better Regulation, but it can and should build on its achievements to deliver prosperity, competitiveness, green transition, strategic resilience and public accountability.
ERIF’s contribution to the incoming European Commission sets out four core areas for the further improvement of the EU’s Better Regulation agenda. They address Regulatory Policy, the Law-Making Process, Implementation Mechanisms, and Due Process Standards. It rests on longstanding work at ERIF, including the latest study on Novel Regulatory Philosophies.
It proposes tangible reform actions, grouped into two sets of ideas:
· Overall Governance – including review of the Inter Institutional Agreement on Better Law Making, adoption of a comprehensive Law of Administrative Procedure, a strengthened mandate for the Regulatory Scrutiny Board, a Communication on the Proportionality Principle, and a revised Communication on Better Regulation.
· Evidence-Based Decision-Making – including adoption of common principles for Scientific Integrity in Regulatory Decision Making, establishment of a Non-Food Consumer Safety Agency, establishment of an Office of Scientific Standards and of an Independent Appeals Board for Scientific Assessments, a new network of Independent Scientific Committees, and adoption of Principles for Access to Expertise and Impartiality in the Functioning of Scientific Committees.
With these measures, we are confident that Better Regulation can play a key role in reducing regulatory risk, strengthening the investment environment and the business case for capital investment in the EU as well as protection for both man and nature and enhancing desired social and environmental outcomes.
The contribution by ERIF forms a complete and coherent ‘package', which includes:
ERIF Policy Note 36 Addressing Negative Regulatory Outcomes through Better Regulation - Considerations from ERIF
ERIF Highlights Note 26 Competitiveness, Novel Regulatory Philosophies and Better Regulation
ERIF Highlights Note 25 Innovation, Novel Regulatory Philosophies and Better Regulation
ERIF Highlights Note 24 Allocation of Capital, Novel Regulatory Philosophies and Better Regulation
ERIF Highlights Note 23 Scientific Integrity, Novel Regulatory Philosophies and Better Regulation
