The European Commission published the Communication on Better Regulation on April 29, 2021, to improve the legislative process and create policies at the European Union (EU) level. With this announcement, it tried to improve the previously formulated Agenda for Better Regulation by aligning it as much as possible with the sustainable development goals and green and digital transition and including it more efficiently in strategic planning. Also, the communication seeks to improve the transparency, efficiency, and coherence of the better regulation system. Following a brief historical overview, the study demonstrates the degree to which the expectations have been met and the areas in which the system of better regulation still needs to be improved.
