In December 2024, Eurochambres submitted 60 proposals to the European Commission aimed at reducing regulatory burdens.
After almost one year, the analysis of the Commission’s progress – mainly through omnibus simplification packages – shows that only 13% of the proposals have been addressed.
On 29 September Eurochambres published the ‘’Eurochambres Scoreboard: EU 2024–2029 Regulatory Burden Reduction’’, which summarises findings and sets out further recommendations.
Two and a half years since the Commission's first pledge to streamline reporting obligations and several commitments to prioritise the simplification agenda, businesses are still grappling with rising compliance costs and continue to navigate – at high costs for their operations – the growing EU regulatory maze.
Eurochambres' message is clear: this trend makes the EU a less attractive and less productive business location compared to global competitors, in a historical moment where investments are urgently needed to remain competitive and create growth in the EU.
