Cut EU red tape – Support for the COMPETE principles

This report provides a detailed overview of stakeholder support for the COMPETE principles. This builds on the summary of stakeholder support outlined in the November 2014 Business Taskforce progress report ‘Cut EU red tape: one year on’. It includes evidence of support from:

+ the European Parliament
+ the European Council
+ the European Commission’s High Level Group on Administrative Burdens

The COMPETE principles were originally called for in the October 2013 Business Taskforce report ‘Cut EU red tape’, aimed at preventing unnecessary future EU legislation.
