"Impact assessments (IAs) can constitute important support for the legislative process. To be so, they must study the economic, social, environmental and public health consequences of the intended political choices, along with their impact on the public’s fundamental rights, throughout the political cycle. The assessment should not just be undertaken
but also
.
However, the current IA process has numerous failings, as the report acknowledges. They often simply seek to convey supposed technical legitimacy and justification on measures that are the result of political choices and evaluations, which are conveniently hidden. There remain numerous questions regarding the methodology to be used in each case. On what or whom will the impact be measured? What is the scope of the assessment? What alternatives are to be analysed?
These decisions, too, normally depend on political choices and evaluations. That is why it is very important to ensure that impact studies are independent. In practice, however, this is difficult, given the multiple variables and interests involved. Transparency, openness, consultation, and public participation and scrutiny in connection with the studies and their results are of decisive importance in guaranteeing, as much as possible, this independence and the quality of the study."@en1
