Better regulation "Toolbox"
This Toolbox complements the better regulation guideline presented in SWD(2017) 350
It is presented here in the form of a single document and structured around various
chapters containing individual tools. It is also available and intended to be used as a
series of web-based tools which are downloadable from the Commission's better
regulation web site. https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-making-process/better-regulationwhy-and-how_en
In general, the Toolbox presents guidance, tips and best practice. Users are not expected
to read and apply each individual tool but to use the Toolbox selectively and with
common sense. However, some aspects of the Toolbox must be applied because they are
linked to the requirements of the better regulation Guidelines, the Commission's working
methods or political commitments given by the Commission. These are explained in the
first Tool #1 on principles, procedures and exceptions. Questions about this Toolbox can
be sent to units C1, C2, C3 and C4 of Directorate responsible for Smart Regulation and
the Work Programme in the Secretariat-General.
The better regulation Toolbox is used internally in the Commission and therefore
contains references to internal procedures as well as intranet pages not publically
available.
