The 2022 Better Regulation Practices across the European Union report, the second in the series, analyses current and developing practices for improving the quality of laws and regulations across all 27 EU Member States and the European Union. The report systematically assesses the use of evidence-based tools and stakeholder participation to improve the design and review of both domestic and EU laws and regulations, and identifies current and future trends in regulatory policy. It is based on empirical evidence, research and data, including the OECD 2021 Indicators of Regulatory Policy and Governance and complemented by information collected during a series of interviews with four EU Member States – namely Denmark, Estonia, Germany, and Cyprus. Reflecting practical experiences, discussions and lessons learned from EU Member States and OECD countries, the report offers many examples of how to benefit from sound regulatory policy and effect positive change. It also presents good regulatory practices and highlights areas that should receive further attention and investment.
