🚄 Heading to the Hertie School in Berlin today for the biennial conference of the #ECPR’s standing group on Regulatory Governance.
In a panel on Administrative Complexity and the Challenges of Policy Accumulation, I will be presenting a paper entitled:

#BetterRegulation: How to ensure EU #tech rules also work in practice? 🛠️
@MathildeAdjutor on importance of #implementation: "This is when #regulators and companies test the practicality of new rules, and #citizens ought to reap the benefits."
While it can be easy to overlook implementation and enforcement of new tech and digital rules once they have been adopted by EU lawmakers, recent experience underlines the need to keep a close eye on these important final steps in the process. Because this is when regulators and companies test the practicality of tech rules, and when European citizens actually ought to reap the benefits.
#BetterRegulation: "Unfortunately, changes made by #MEPs and the Council to new EU #tech and #digital rules put forward by the @EU_Commission are still the 📉 least scrutinised step of the EU #legislative process," @MathildeAdjutor underlines.
Changes made by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU to proposals for new tech and digital rules initially put forward by the European Commission are still the least scrutinised step of the EU legislative process.
#BetterRegulation: "The Commission must swiftly and decisively use its #EU treaty powers to hold Member States accountable for actions that weaken the #SingleMarket, such as gold-plating #digital laws or #discriminatory requirements," Alexandre Roure argues.
How to Improve #Scrutiny of EU #Tech Rules? 🔍
"New concepts and substantial changes should always be subjected to another #ImpactAssessment, also when introduced by #MEPs, Council, or during #trilogues," argues @MathildeAdjutor.
