Better regulation is now at the centre of the political agenda, particularly the need to reduce the administrative burden on business and to cut ‘red tape’. Not only is it essential for creat- ing and maintaining jobs, it is intrinsically linked to the concept of re-shoring - bringing jobs back to Europe.

This tool kit is intended to help ECR Members build on what has already been achieved. It identi es a number of key questions to be asked of any proposal, followed by twelve better regula- tion principles. Each of these comes with a recommendation or sample amendment that Members can use as a guide, to push forward key ECR proposals for better regulation in the legislative cycle.
