lpv:translated text	"I voted for this report because I believe impact assessments (IAs) are a key instrument for the legislative process, and one which European legislators should make greater use of in future. The benefits of IAs are obvious. They show legislators the possible consequences of their options and help them in making a decision. IAs can thus make a significant contribution to better law making. However, they can in no way be a substitute for political debate and the legislator’s democratic decision-making process, merely enabling the technical preparation of a political decision. The European Commission has raised the quality of its IAs, particularly through the foundation of its Impact Assessment Board (IAB). However, in light of the report of the European Court of Auditors, I believe the Commission’s IAs could be improved. I agree that closer involvement of the European Parliament’s committees in this work could be useful in improving the quality of IAs."@en1
