Yesterday, 4/2, marked the conclusion of the submission process for contributions to the European Commission’s open public consultation on the “Better Regulation” initiative.

While we recognize the need for rapid responses in a rapidly evolving technological environment, we highlight a steadily widening gap between evidence-based analyses and final legislative choices. This phenomenon is particularly evident in recent horizontal initiatives of the Omnibus type, as well as in fast-tracked reforms that are launched on uncertain and unclear foundations.
