"Impact assessments (IAs) are a key instrument for the legislative process, and one of which European legislators should make greater use in future. The benefits of IAs are obvious. They show legislators the possible consequences of their policy options and help them in making a decision. IAs can thus make a significant contribution to better law making. However, they can in no way be a substitute for political debate and the legislator’s democratically legitimated decision-making process. They merely permit the technical, substantive preparation of a political decision. The IAs used by the European institutions should comply with certain principles. First of all, they should be completely independent and transparent, cover all categories of legislative proposal and employ a clear methodology. The policy options listed should also include the option of taking no action. The specific consequences for small and medium-sized enterprises should be taken into account where appropriate and they must always be kept up to date with current developments in the legislative process. Parliament’s key demand is the creation of an autonomous structure for carrying out impact assessments within Parliament, with a view to further enhancing the quality of its law making and creating synergies with the possibility of a common mechanism for all EU institutions."@en1
