Reducing Regulatory Burden: EU Council Calls for Streamlined Garden Irrigation Systems

The European Council has called on the Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, to reduce the administrative and regulatory burden on companies and national authorities. Various bills and recommendations have been proposed on a regular basis, causing a significant amount of work in the European Parliament and the Council of Member States. Critics argue that while the amount of regulation has been high, the level of impact assessment and detail of regulation have also been points of contention.

During a summit meeting of EU country leaders last week, it was emphasized in the conclusions that the Commission should work to reduce administrative and regulatory burdens on companies and national authorities and avoid over-regulation. Prime Minister of Finland Petteri Orpo believes that the general sentiment among heads of state is that the current commission has imposed excessive regulation, which has hindered growth rather than promoted it.

Orpo is of the opinion that these concerns need to be addressed by the Commission and that political decision-makers must implement their political will through a strong Commission. He suggests that monitoring of this work needs to happen at summit meetings and requires vigilance from political decision-makers.
