The European Council Declaration on Competitiveness commits to ‘doing more to reduce the overall burden of EU regulation, especially on SMEs and micro enterprises’.</p><p> </p><p>To implement this, the European Commission has agreed to introduce a new burden review mechanism. It will conduct an annual survey of the burdens imposed on businesses at the EU level. This process will identify legislation that should be revised or repealed to bring costs down, and will mean that limiting the cost of regulation will be a priority when proposals are developed, negotiated and agreed.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 30/03/2016 14:45:12 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
