This collection of studies, prepared by the Policy Department C at the request of European Parliament’s JURI Committee, indicates that better EU legislation and regulation can deliver gains to the European economy of over EUR 2,200 billion, while even selected sectorial legislation can deliver EUR 575 billon in case of free movement of goods and customs union, EUR 389 billon in case of free movement of services and EUR 177 billion in case of the Digital Single Market, annually. At the same time delaying better legislation and regulation in the EU leads to an aggregate annual loss of EUR 319 billion just in the digital transformation area. Experts indicate at an urgent need of new instruments for the EU better regulation agenda.
