Study of the EU regulatory agencies
The Better Regulation Commission (BRC) has embarked on a study of the EU
regulatory agencies. The study will consider the work of the agencies and
their influence on the regulatory landscape. There has been an increased
focus on better regulation in the major EU institutions in recent years –
we want to explore the extent to which better regulation principles are
embedded in the way the agencies operate and look at the agencies'
involvement in the better regulation agenda. We will work with
organisations from other member states to explore how EU agencies interact
with their national equivalents.
The study will examine a selection of agencies, covering a range of
sectors, responsibilities and powers. We aim to highlight best practice
and, if appropriate, draw attention to areas where better regulation
principles and tools could improve the quality of agency influenced
regulation.
The Better Regulation Commission listens to and represents views from a
variety of stakeholders and we would like to hear from anyone who would
like to contribute to this study. We aim to publish our report in the
autumn and would appreciate submissions from any interested parties. Please
