Forum of practitioners welcomes practitioners and academics who are interested in exchanging experiences, good practices and views on innovation in better regulation and the efforts of the governments to improve the decision making process and policy design. EU countries, potential and candidate countries to the EU have to follow the EU Better Regulation Agenda (EC communication, 19 May 2015; Inter-institutional Agreement on Better Law-making, 9 March 2016) and this is a good opportunity for all practitioners from other regions to share their views on this issue.Better regulation is a way of working to ensure that political decisions are prepared in an open, transparent manner, informed by the best available evidence and backed by the comprehensive involvement of stakeholders.

Better regulation covers the whole policy cycle – policy design and preparation, adoption, implementation (transposition of the acquis, complementary non-regulatory actions), application (including enforcement), evaluation and revision.

Within the European Public Administration Principles (PAP), two principles under the chapter "Policy Development and Coordination” are related to Better Regulation:

Principle 10 – The policy making and legal drafting process is evidence-based and impact assessment is regularly used across ministries

Principle 11 – Policies and legislation are designed in an inclusive manner that enables the active participation of society and allows for coordinating perspectives within the Government

Issues of concern:

Support to policy and legislative development, including acquis alignment has focused more on content than on improving the generally weak policy and legislative process:

-       Concept documents on laws are often prepared as a formality

-       Poor quality or lack of regulatory and fiscal impact assessments

-       Weak inter-ministerial coordination on draft laws and policies which often results in contradicting laws and/or policies

-       Lack of systematic public consultations, or consultations are too late in the process

-       Extensive use of fast-track adoption procedures in the parliaments

Consequences are: weak policies, legislation and administrative capacity for implementation and /or enforcement
