Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like first of all to thank the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market and the Committee on Constitutional Affairs for their contributions to the discussion on our initiatives in the field of ‘better law-making’. I reserve particular thanks for Mrs Frassoni and Mr Medina Ortega.
The Commission welcomes the fact that the three institutions have concluded an interinstitutional agreement on ‘better law-making’. This agreement clearly and broadly commits the three institutions to improving their working methodologies and the quality of law-making by means of a range of initiatives and procedures that it sets out. Consequently, the interinstitutional agreement establishes a solid base for improving the culture of clarity and coherence in drawing up legislative texts and for improving the programming and transparency of the legislative process, whilst respecting the powers and procedures laid down in the Treaties, and the broad principles of democratic legitimacy, subsidiarity and proportionality and legal security.
The Commission finds the agreement to be extremely satisfactory. First of all, it is coherent with the proposals we made in the ‘better law-making’ action plan of June 2002. The lines that we then defined are now confirmed. Next, the agreement is well-balanced: it makes frequent references to the Commission’s own commitments but also notes the commitments of Parliament and the Council concerning improving the quality of regulations. In particular, it sets out provisions that complement the proposals contained in the action plan for the programming and transparency of legislative work. The agreement also establishes a definition of a stable framework for using so-called alternative instruments, or
which are co-regulation and self-regulation. The agreement will allow these instruments to be used and will prevent the multitude of problems encountered in the past when examining this type of measure on a case-by-case basis.
Lastly, we should note the progress that has been made and the commitments that have been given with regard to impact studies and to simplifying the
and transposing Community law-making and monitoring its implementation. Now, of course, the greatest attention must be paid to ensuring that the agreement is implemented."@en1
