lpv:translated text	"I voted for the report on better lawmaking, because I believe that better lawmaking is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of the European Union and is one of our citizens’ rights which cannot be achieved without clear laws that the general public can understand. Better regulation in the European Union covers a range of matters, such as carrying out impact assessments, reducing administrative burdens and simplifying and codifying existing legislation. In particular, I agree with the Commission’s programme aimed at reducing the administrative burdens arising from European Union legislation which has been in place since 2005 and which seeks to reduce those burdens by 25% by 2012. It is very important to reduce the costs for businesses operating in the European Union, in order to enable them to function effectively in difficult economic conditions and compete globally and to streamline public administrative procedures. We must focus on the unnecessary requirements to provide information and apply the ‘only once’ principle set out in the Small Business Act. Electronic communication constitutes an excellent tool for reducing administrative burdens. The EU institutions must actively cooperate with the Member States in order to avoid discrepancies in interpretation and the ‘gold-plating’ of legislation. According to the Commission, 32% of EU administrative burdens are the result of decisions by certain Member States, exceeding the requirements of EU legislation and of the ineffectiveness of their administrative procedures. Also, we must not forget that consultations with all the interested parties, social partners in particular, are of fundamental importance in preparing draft legislation."@en1
