"Mr President, I just wish, in particular, to congratulate all my colleagues on the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection who worked on the future of the Internal Market Scoreboard. It is an issue that is close to my heart as it provides an excellent communication tool for how Member States treat EU directives.
It is also close to my heart because I am constantly hearing about overzealous EU regulation, particularly in my home country, Ireland, and this needs to be digested. Well, a quick glance at the scoreboard will show you that Ireland has misapplied EU directives on no less than 67 occasions and is in danger of missing out on the 1% transposition deficit target as agreed.
This raises the question: who is at fault for this supposedly overzealous regulation? If a Member State is not transposing EU legislation correctly, or is adding more regulation onto directives, then is it the fault of the EU or the Member State? I think possibly and probably the latter.
Perhaps an idea for the scoreboard in future might be to directly address the matter of overregulation, or ‘gold plating’, as it is known. I think this would be a positive outcome."@en1
