". – I share Mr Harbour's view that there is a lot to improve in the impact assessment. For that reason, when I took office I launched a project to create more solid methodologies for business impact assessment. The results of this work are ready now in February.
Alongside this, the Commission proposed at the Göteborg Summit the need for sustainable impact assessments, which means impact assessments that include economic, social and environmental factors. This work is now proceeding inside the Commission and is led by the Secretary-General.
I fully agree that we must have predictable accepted methodologies so that anybody can assess how we have come to these conclusions. The Commission is ready to open the debate on these issues and to appear before the respective committees, for instance, to discuss what we have learned in our business impact assessments. The Commission appreciates the importance of both business and sustainable impact assessments and the need to achieve them quickly.
Secondly, of course it does not mean that measures will not be taken if costs are incurred but we should at least try to assess the costs honestly and then an informed decision can be taken."@en1
