PROJECTS

Executive Summary

In consultation with IMPEL members and also input from key stakeholders including the Commission, this project aims to identify and inform future issues and timings for the IMPEL Better Regulation Cluster to carry out projects to improve implementation of areas of EU law for the period 2012 to 2015.  This might include applying the Better Regulation Checklist or by comparing implementation to see what works well.  This work will inform the Better Regulation Cluster’s multi-annual work programme. The benefits of running this work as a project are that it enables IMPEL to use a consultant to provide the resources to:

• gather in and assess views of IMPEL members on priority implementation issues for EU law;
• to gather information from key stakeholders such as the Commission about their work programme, timings and their priority implementation issues;
• to facilitate a discussion with first, the Better Regulation Cluster and then via a workshop with key stakeholders to identify issues and potential work activities that will improve the implementation of EU law and add the most value to the Commission’s legislative programmes, while targeting areas of most concern to IMPEL’s members and other stakeholders.

This work (which would be very difficult to resource without the use of a consultant) will then provide useful information to better inform the Better Regulation Cluster’s multi-annual work programme.
