Recital H
H. whereas in 2021 the Commission introduced the ‘one in, one out’ approach with the intention of offsetting new burdens resulting from the Commission’s legislative proposals by removing already existing burdens in the same policy area; whereas in 2017 the Commission decided against the 'one in, one out' approach and the idea of setting 'ex ante burden reduction targets' in its work on EU lawmaking owing to the risk of creating 'deregulatory pressures' and impairing 'its political responsibility to deliver what needs to be done when it needs to be done'1a;

Amendment 125 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Underlines that ‘strategic foresight’ could play a key role in helping to future- proof EU policy-making by ensuring that assessments of new initiatives are grounded in a longer-term perspective, emphasising the added value of quality legislation as an investment in the future; welcomes the integration of ‘foresight elements’ into the Commission’s better regulation agenda in impact assessments and evaluations; considers, however, that the Commission’s methodology for quantifying costs, deciding on trade-offs and implementing strategic foresight remains unclear, and that practice will allow assessment of how these approaches have been followed in practice; encourages the Commission to look into innovative cost assessment tools;
Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Takes note of the ‘one in, one out’ approach by which the Commission aims to offset newly introduced burdens by relieving citizens and businesses of equivalent burdens at EU level in the same policy area; regrets the unilateral introduction of this approach by the Commission, without a prior impact assessment or consultation; underlines that the implementation of this approach should not affect political imperatives or the objectives of better regulation, and emphasises that it should not lead to mechanical or mathematical decisions to repeal legislation, lower its standard or result in a chilling effect on legislation; takes the view that that regulation should be improved on the basis of qualitative rather than quantitative aspects; recalls that the need for new legislation should not automatically imply that current legislation is no longer needed; calls for this approach to be based on a transparent and evidence- based methodology giving balanced consideration to all sustainability aspects, both in terms of benefits and costs, including the costs of non-compliance and inaction; calls on the Commission, in this regard, to make its ‘one in, one out’ calculator public and to obtain the support of the other EU institutions before applying this approach;
