In its recently published work programme, the European Commission strongly commits to "reinforce evidence from evaluations, integrate foresight in its regulatory tools, apply the concept of ‘active’ subsidiarity and develop more efficient consultations of citizens".
Furthermore, "simplification and burden reduction will rely on close cooperation with the co-legislators, Member States, regions and local authorities", who will contribute to a new "Fit-for-future platform".
We greatly welcome the new Commission's reinforced commitment to evidence-based policymaking together with local and regional authorities, and we are looking forward to contribute to it via our RegHub network!
