#LawTermination #EU #Великобритания The day after triggering Brexit, the government published details of its "Great Repeal Bill". Described by Theresa May as an "essential step" on the way to leaving the EU, it aims to ensure European law will no longer apply in the UK. It is now being beginning its journey into law, with the formal title of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. Here's how it will work: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-39266723

Evidence-based policy making in the European Commission

The Secretariat General of the European Commission, has as part of its mission “to ensure the coherence, quality and delivery of policy, legislation and operations across policy areas and Commission departments”. Before the EU takes action the commission publishes roadmaps describing the planned initiative and prepares an impact assessment, which examines the potential economic social and environmental consequences. The objective being that “Commission initiatives and proposals for EU legislation are prepared on the basis of transparent, comprehensive and balanced evidence on the nature of the problem to be addressed, the added value of EU action and the cost and benefits of alternative courses of action for all stakeholders”. I propose to illustrate evidence-based policy making within the European Commission, with the example of the ongoing initiative to address greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and LULUCF in the context of the 2030 EU Climate and energy framework. Agriculture accounts for approximately 10% of EU greenhouse gas emissions, while the LULUCF sector is currently a net sink. https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/evidence-based-policy-making-european-commission

#EU #capture George Stigler’s theory of regulatory capture, in which regulatory bodies act in the interest of pressure groups rather than the public, is an effective means of interpreting this government failure. The simple means by which to analyse the existence of regulatory capture is whether failed regulations are repealed. If regulation fails to achieve its stated intention, repealing it would reverse the presumably unintended consequences. If that same regulation, however, is not repealed as a result, those unintended consequences are better understood as the originally intended consequences of the regulation. https://en.irefeurope.org/Publications/Online-Articles/Regulatory-Capture-in-European-Evidence-Based-Policy-Making

#EU #BetterRegulation 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. https://www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/uk/the-eu-better-regulation-agenda-9781509917334/

#EU #REFIT This high-level conference, organised by the Regulatory Scrutiny Board, will bring together representatives of EU institutions, public administrations and think tanks, as well as the broader research and stakeholder communities. Speakers will discuss how to promote higher quality legislation. The event is an opportunity to reflect on different aspects of ex-ante impact assessments and ex-post evaluations design and techniques, best practices and quantification.
The conference will explore the appropriate scope of regulatory oversight and how to measure the effectiveness of impact assessments for the regulatory scrutiny process. It will consider challenges of conducting ex-post evaluations and how to make these more useful for policy making. https://ec.europa.eu/info/events/second-annual-conference-regulatory-scrutiny-eu-2018-jun-15_en

#EU among the various measures taken under the better regulation umbrella, we started to consult more, opened up the policy process to feedback at every stage and invested greater resources in reaching out to stakeholders in their national language. 
In terms of measures taken, progress has been – I believe – incontrovertible. The extent to which we have managed to live up to our commitments will be a matter of empirical analysis. I think we will find it is has not been to the full but significant. That would be my expectation.
But what matters are the results. What were the specific goals here? We meant to listen better but also expected to collect more comprehensive evidence and hear more thoroughly argued views. Have we listened better? Have stakeholders been more engaged?Have we learnt more from them? https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2014-2019/timmermans/announcements/opening-remarks-second-annual-conference-regulatory-scrutiny-eu-held-brussels_en

#EU #lobbying This article offers a systematic exploration of why interest groups sign up to the European Union Transparency Register, a non‐binding lobby regulation system. We distinguish between instrumental and normative perspectives to explain voluntary compliance, and find that concern for one's reputation represents the most important motivational driver. Based on this, we suggest that the Transparency Register can be understood as a “voluntary club” sponsored by European institutions. T https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/rego.12200
