“Systemic regulatory change comes from a truly unified effort”
When decision-makers craft legislation, every part of the value chain must work together if there are to be regulations that work for everyone, reasons Fatma Sahin, European External Affairs Manager at Unilever.
“If regulators want to achieve robust legislation, they must be more pragmatic”
Having ambitious targets is not a problem. The problem comes when those targets trigger reasoning that isn’t questioned, says Dr. Lorenzo Allio, Senior Policy Analyst at the European Regulation and Innovation Forum.
“There are many challenges on the path to better regulation”
No one instrument can do the job on its own. Systemic change calls for policy mixes and innovative governance, says Patrick ten Brink, Deputy Secretary General and Director of EU Policy of the European Environmental Bureau.
