Details

The Council adopted a resolution proposing simpler legislative and administrative arrangements for the internal market. As far as future legislative initiatives were concerned the Council took note of the general guidelines that the Commission had drawn up in order to direct its powers of initiative with a view to improving the quality of the new legislative proposals, given their impact on the economic and professional environment. It also underlined the importance of ensuring that the new legislation was effectively transposed at national level, while at the same time stressing that highly detailed stipulations should be avoided, apart from where these were strictly needed in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market. As far as the current legislation was concerned, the Council wanted to see the codification and simplification measures strengthened by concrete actions. One of these actions should initially consist of launching a ‘pilot project’ in a limited number of sectors - permanent system for collecting statistics, ornamental plants, construction projects, mutual recognition of diplomas - with a view to reducing restrictions and relaxing the formalities imposed on undertakings by way of the said legislation. Regarding the initiatives to be taken, the Council called on the Member States a) to promote a culture of simplification and relaxation of administrative formalities when it came to national legislation, taking into account the special problems faced by SMEs; b) to support the work of those groups charged with carrying out the ‘pilot project’; c) to undertake an exchange of information on actions to be taken towards simplification, which would take place within the consultative committee for coordination in the area of the internal market, as instituted by Decision 93/72/EEC. The Commission was called on: a) to keep Member States regularly informed about the progress of the work on the ‘pilot project’; b) to present to the Council, by November 1996, a report detailing the conclusions of the pilot project; c) to indicate, as soon as possible in 1997, how this project could be extended to other sectors.
