Competitiveness is a hot topic. But with Europe's attractiveness under threat, the EU needs to reset the agenda. Part of this is addressing how EU policy measures are made, as well as the substance of those proposals. To solve this, we have developed a Competitiveness Scorecard that features a simple yet effective ten-point checklist to evaluate new or revised regulations. By enhancing transparency, incorporating broad stakeholder insights and directly addressing key competitiveness factors, the Scorecard is a concrete way to significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of EU regulatory proposals. Learn more about the Competitiveness Scorecard in our latest blog.
