Better Regulation Principles/ 2009
This document is the final report of an IMPEL project that investigated how European environmental authorities are applying better regulation principles. The report, based on questionnaire responses and a workshop discussion, identifies initiatives from 14 countries, primarily focusing on streamlining permitting, monitoring, and inspection processes. It highlights the importance of assessing outcomes, including cost reductions for businesses and authorities, and emphasizes the need for flexibility in EU legislation to accommodate diverse better regulation approaches adopted by member states.
