"The Better Regulation Task Force has produced this report as a contribution to the programme of activity aimed at achieving better regulation in the European Union.

Over the last seven years the Better Regulation Task Force has examined the many aspects of regulation in the UK. However, since about half of all major UK legislation originates in Europe - as no doubt it does in other Member States - we decided to look at the European legislation itself to see what scope there was for ‘better regulation'. We intend to produce a series of reports examining the issue at EU level - this, on ‘Simplification', is the first."
