‘EU Legislation in Progress’ briefings aim to provide Members of the European Parliament with systematic and automatic analysis on all substantial proposals for EU legislation at every stage of the legislative procedure. Each contains an account of the purpose, content and legal aspects of the legislation proposed, in particular analysing what the legislation would change, as well as any previous legislation and the background. An overview of stakeholders’ views is also provided, as well as the opinions of national parliaments and the two advisory committees. They are all made publicly available for stakeholders and the public. The briefings are continuously updated as they pass through the policy making process and the source url hyperlink above should take you to the latest available version.In the context of the work of reviewing the fitness of current regulations (REFIT), the European Commission decided to amend Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 and repeal 10 legal acts in the field of business statistics. The aim was to reduce the administrative burden for businesses, especially SMEs, and to put an end to legal fragmentation in the field of European business statistics. The Commission proposed to establish a common legal framework for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics related to business structure, economic activities and performance, as well as on international transactions and research and development activities in the EU economy; and for the European network of national statistical business registers and the EuroGroups Register. The regulation included provisions covering business registers, the data sources to be used, and the exchange of confidential data for the purpose of intra-Union trade in goods statistics. It was expected to reduce red tape for businesses by at least 13.5% annually. Author: Angelos Delivorias |
