"I welcomed this report because impact assessments (IAs) are a key instrument in the legislative process, and one which European legislators should make greater use of in future. The benefits of IAs are obvious. IAs show legislators the possible consequences of their policy options and help them to make a decision. IAs can thus make a significant contribution to better law making. However, IAs can in no way be a substitute for political debate and the legislator’s democratic and legitimate decision-making process. IAs merely contribute to the preparation of the specific content of a political decision. This report falls into four sections. First of all, the report sets out the general requirements for IAs at European level. The second section discusses the Commission’s IAs and highlights scope for improvement. The third section is devoted to the IAs carried out by the European Parliament. The fourth and final section calls for an autonomous IA structure within the European Parliament which all of Parliament’s committees should use to further improve law making and create synergies."@en1
