#EU #impact Brussels, 13 March 2017. The European Commission adopted today a report on the mandatory labelling of the list of ingredients and the nutrition declaration for alcoholic beverages. 
Following the conclusions of the report, the Commission has decided to invite the alcoholic beverages' industry to develop, within a year, a self-regulatory proposal aiming to provide information on ingredients and nutrition. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-551_en.htm

#EU #UK #LawTermination Ожидается крупнейшая расчистка британского законодательства от европейских норм: правительство Терезы Мэй выпустило Белую книгу: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-great-repeal-bill-white-paper

#LawTermination #EU #Великобритания The day after triggering Brexit, the government published details of its "Great Repeal Bill". Described by Theresa May as an "essential step" on the way to leaving the EU, it aims to ensure European law will no longer apply in the UK. It is now being beginning its journey into law, with the formal title of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill. Here's how it will work: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-39266723

Evidence-based policy making in the European Commission

The Secretariat General of the European Commission, has as part of its mission “to ensure the coherence, quality and delivery of policy, legislation and operations across policy areas and Commission departments”. Before the EU takes action the commission publishes roadmaps describing the planned initiative and prepares an impact assessment, which examines the potential economic social and environmental consequences. The objective being that “Commission initiatives and proposals for EU legislation are prepared on the basis of transparent, comprehensive and balanced evidence on the nature of the problem to be addressed, the added value of EU action and the cost and benefits of alternative courses of action for all stakeholders”. I propose to illustrate evidence-based policy making within the European Commission, with the example of the ongoing initiative to address greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and LULUCF in the context of the 2030 EU Climate and energy framework. Agriculture accounts for approximately 10% of EU greenhouse gas emissions, while the LULUCF sector is currently a net sink. https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/evidence-based-policy-making-european-commission

#EU #BetterRegulation Better Regulation in the EU is a perennial and topical question which has important implications for the future direction of EU law. While actions directed at improving the quality and accessibility of EU regulation are not novel, in recent years the Better Regulation Agenda has significantly affected the structural organisation and day-to-day operation of the EU legislative process. Yet, many questions about the future of the Agenda remain, not least in light of Brexit. Exploring the Better Regulation Agenda (and its relation to the overall EU legal and political order) necessitates an integrated, interdisciplinary approach. This edited volume presents insights from economics, political science and legal scholarship. Furthermore, to allow full understanding, it examines institutional practice, where the Agenda is made and shaped on a daily basis. Hence, the book features contributions from the perspective of the work of the main EU institutions: the European Commission, the Parliament, the Council and the Court of Justice. This results in a seminal overview of the subject, of interest to scholars and practitioners alike. https://www.bloomsburyprofessional.com/uk/the-eu-better-regulation-agenda-9781509917334/
