On 19 May 2015, the Commission published the Better Regulation Package, a comprehensive set of measures that aims to ensure that EU policy is designed in such a way that it is effective, efficient and prepared in in open and transparent manner, engaging the public and all stakeholders from start to finish. In the same week, Commissioner for Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights and First Vice-President, Frans Timmermans, spoke at an EPC Policy Briefing where he presented the key aspects of the package and discussed some of its concrete measures.
The Sustainable Prosperity for Europe (SPfE) Programme explores the foundations and drivers for achieving a sustainable, resilient and competitive European economy.
Prospering within the planetary boundaries requires rethinking our economic model, including our production and consumption patterns, as well as our energy, mobility and food systems. It requires addressing the climate emergency and environmental degradation, as well as becoming smarter with the resources we have. The transition to the world we want must bring both businesses and people along, if it is to succeed.
The Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Agenda provide the direction for travel globally and in Europe, and the SPfE Programme engages in a debate on the drivers and the means for achieving our goals. The Programme focuses on areas where working together across the EU can bring significant benefits to the member states, citizens and businesses and can ensure sustainable prosperity within the limits of this planet.
