EMOTA response to Commission's questionnaire on how to improve the regulatory environment for business

As part of its focus on "better regulation", the European Commission launched an on-line consultation in June 2005 asking business to identify particularly burdensome rules and to make suggestions as to how best to simplify them and improve the legal environment for companies in the EU.

EMOTA decided to carry out its own survey among the companies member of its national associations to identify areas and concrete examples of barriers faced by companies when carrying out their activities in their own country or wanting to expand to other countries. The result of this exercise is a paper compiling the results of this  survey and aiming to contribute to the Commission's effort of simplification and clarification of existing EU legislation.
