MEDDELELSE FRA KOMMISSIONEN TIL EUROPA-PARLAMENTET OG RÅDET

Resultat af screeningen af verserende lovforslag

MEDDELELSE FRA KOMMISSIONEN TIL EUROPA-PARLAMENTET OG RÅDET

Resultat af screeningen af verserende lovforslag

Som det fremgår af Kommissionens meddelelse af 16. marts 2005 ”Bedre regulering til gavn for vækst og beskæftigelse i Den Europæiske Union”[1] har Kommissionen besluttet at styrke sin indsats for ved hjælp af en bedre EU-lovgivning at fremme målsætningerne med hensyn til partnerskab for vækst og beskæftigelse.

Hvis man vil fremme den europæiske konkurrenceevne, skal EU-lovgivningen være af højeste kvalitet, og for at nå dette mål skal den eksisterende lovgivning om nødvendigt forenkles og opdateres, hvilket vil blive gjort gennem en række allerede fastlagte foranstaltninger, herunder iværksættelsen af en ny fase af forenklingsprogrammet i oktober 2005.

Kommissionen har ligeledes besluttet, at den bedre regulering skal være en integrerende del ved udformningen af alle sine politikker, og at den i sine nye lovforslag skal forsøge at fremme bedre regulering og således bidrage til konkurrenceevnen. Dette føres bl.a. ud i praksis ved at kræve, at der - som meddelt i Kommissionens lovgivnings- og arbejdsprogram for 2005, for hvilket der for nylig blev vedtaget omfattende og detaljerede retningslinjer[2] - for alle nye lovgivningsforslag udarbejdes en konsekvensanalyse.

Hvad angår forslag, som Kommissionen allerede har fremlagt, og for hvilke lovgivningsprocessen endnu ikke er afsluttet, fremgår det af meddelelsen fra marts, at Kommissionen har til hensigt at foretage en screening af de forslag, som er under behandling i Rådet/Parlamentet, med hensyn til deres overordnede relevans, indvirkning på konkurrenceevnen og andre konsekvenser. I denne meddelelse beskrives således målsætningerne, proceduren og resultaterne af denne screening, som er den første af slagsen.

1. Målsætninger med screeningen af verserende lovforslag

Screeningen skal give Kommissionen mulighed for at sikre, at alle verserende lovforslag er i fuldstændig overensstemmelse med Kommissionens politiske prioriteringer, og kontrollere, hvorvidt det som følge af ændrede forhold er nødvendigt at tage det oprindelige forslag op til revision.

I de tilfælde, hvor en revision af et lovforslag synes nødvendig, gav screeningen ligeledes mulighed for at finde frem til passende foranstaltninger, herunder ændring, erstatning eller tilbagetrækning af verserende forslag samt forbedring af deres konsekvensanalyse.

Mere specifikt gik screeningen ud på at undersøge de verserende forslag ud fra tre kriterier:

Først blev de verserende forslag undersøgt med hensyn til deres overensstemmelse med EU’s Lissabon-målsætninger, særlig ønsket om at fremme konkurrenceevnen. De kriterier, der lå til grund for evalueringen af forslag i denne henseende, er de kriterier, der er specificeret i “konkurrenceevne-testen”, der er del af de for nylig reviderede retningslinjer for konsekvensanalyse[3].

For det andet blev de verserende forslag evalueret med hensyn til, om der var sket væsentlige fremskridt i lovgivningsprocessen over en bestemt periode. Når dette ikke var tilfældet, blev årsagerne til den langsomme lovgivningsproces og mulighederne for at fremskynde processen ligeledes undersøgt.

For det tredje blev de verserende forslag evalueret med henblik på at fastslå, hvorvidt de opfylder kravene til bedre regulering, især med hensyn til passende konsekvensanalyse. Dette kriterium vedrører især de forslag, der blev fremlagt, inden det blev et formelt krav at udarbejde konsekvensanalyser.

2. Screeningsprocessen

Da screeningen startede i april 2005, var der i alt 489[4] verserende lovforslag. Screeningen som defineret i meddelelsen fra marts omfattede udtrykkeligt kun verserende forslag fra før den 1. januar 2004. Det drejede sig således om 183 forslag.

Disse forslag blev underkastet en grundig evaluering, der gjorde det muligt at identificere omkring 100 forslag, som udgør egentlige nye lovgivningsinitiativer, og som blev yderligere evalueret for at finde eventuelle negative konsekvenser for konkurrenceevnen eller mere generelle økonomiske konsekvenser. De øvrige lovforslag vurderes at have en begrænset eller slet ingen indvirkning på konkurrenceevnen. Det drejer sig hovedsagelig om forslag, der er fremlagt som følge af EU’s internationale forpligtelser, eller som er tilpasninger af den gældende EU-lovgivning til den videnskabelige og tekniske udvikling. Nogle af disse forslag bidrager ligeledes til en “bedre regulering”, eftersom de kodificerer eller forenkler den eksisterende EU-lovgivning.

3. Resultater af screeningsprocessen

Kommissionen agter på grundlag af en detaljeret analyse af alle verserende forslag at foretage følgende to typer foranstaltninger:

(1) Nogle forslag skal trækkes tilbage: Kommissionen agter at trække i alt 68 forslag tilbage. Disse forslag anses for ikke at være i overensstemmelse med Lissabon-målsætningerne eller principperne om bedre regulering, de anses for ikke at skride hurtig nok frem i lovgivningsprocessen, eller de anses ikke længere for relevante[5] (hvis f.eks. målsætningerne allerede er eller vil blive opnået ad andre veje). Visse af disse forslag vil eventuelt blive taget op til fornyet overvejelse i lyset af en yderligere analyse. I visse tilfælde agter Kommissionen at overveje behovet for indgreb i lyset af resultaterne af en omfattende konsekvensanalyse.

(2) Andre forslag skal forblive i lovgivningsprocessen, men ledsaget af en økonomisk analyse, der skal forelægges lovgiver[6]. Det drejer sig om 5 forslag, som Kommissionen fortsat mener er vigtige, men hvor det vil fremme lovgivers beslutningstagen, hvis der foreligger en yderligere konsekvensanalyse.

Man vil således som følge af Kommissionens screening gribe ind over for i alt 73 verserende forslag. Det drejer sig om forslag, der ikke på tilstrækkelig vis opfylder kravene med hensyn til konkurrenceevne, forslag, for hvilke lovgiver har behov for en yderligere økonomisk analyse, og forslag, for hvilke lovgivningsprocessen går for langsomt, eller som ikke længere er relevante.

De forslag, der trækkes tilbage, repræsenterer 31 %[7] af alle verserende forslag fra før den 1. januar 2004. Alle de forslag, der er genstand for indgreb, herunder forslag, for hvilke der skal udarbejdes en yderligere økonomisk analyse, repræsenterer 33 %[8] af disse verserende forslag.

Der blev ved screeningen desuden identificeret mindst to forslag, der ikke falder ind under ovennævnte kategorier. For det første, hvad angår forslaget til Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv om minimumsforskrifter for sikkerhed og sundhed i forbindelse med arbejdstagernes eksponering for risici på grund af fysiske agenser (optisk stråling), 1992/0449/COD, har Kommissionen på grundlag af screeningen konkluderet, at aspekterne vedrørende arbejdstageres eksponering for naturlig optisk stråling skal fjernes, således som Europa-Parlamentet har foreslået.

For det andet, hvad angår forslaget om vikaransatte (2002/0072/COD), forbeholder Kommissionen sig ret til af tage sit forslag op til fornyet overvejelse i lyset af de kommende drøftelser vedrørende andre forslag.

Bilaget til denne meddelelse indeholder en sammenfatning af situationen og yderligere detaljer vedrørende de berørte forslag.

Konklusion

Denne screening af verserende forslag er den første omfattende screening, som Kommissionen har foretaget. Dette viser, at Kommissionen fuldt ud støtter op omkring partnerskabet for vækst og beskæftigelse, og at den agter at sikre, at principperne om bedre regulering gennemføres i praksis.

Det er hensigten, at de foranstaltninger, der træffes på grundlag af screeningen, dvs. de planlagte indgreb over for verserende forslag som beskrevet i bilaget, skal have en positiv indvirkning på opfyldelsen af Lissabon-målsætningerne i form af fremme af konkurrenceevnen, udvikling af bedre lovgivningsrammer og tilbagetrækning af forslag, der ikke forventes at kunne blive vedtaget, eller som ikke længere er relevante.

En række verserende forslag vil i visse tilfælde blive trukket tilbage inden for rammerne af en overordnet revision af Kommissionens politikker eller med henblik på at revidere disse forslag i lyset af nye elementer i Kommissionens politikker og en omfattende konsekvensanalyse.

I overensstemmelse med rammeaftalen om forbindelserne mellem Europa-Parlamentet og Kommissionen (punkt 32) giver Kommissionen hermed Europa-Parlamentet og Rådet forhåndsmeddelelse, inden forslagene trækkes tilbage.
