"The new report by the UK Better Regulation Task Force is the third in a series of very thorough reports looking at the issue of more flexible and effective policymaking. The first one 'Make it simple - make it better' was published in December 2004 and looked at ways to simplify EU legislation. The second report 'Get connected - effective engagement in the EU' (Sept. 2005) dealt with the issue of good consultation.
The third report is called 'Routes to better regulation'. It contains recommendations to the European Commission to promote the use of effective alternatives to the standard EU lawmaking via regulations and directives."
