JBCE Proposal for Further Simplification and Reduction of Administrative Burden in Regulatory Implementation

On 4 June 2025, in the context of the European Commission’s commitment to simplification under the Political Guidelines 2024-2029, JBCE published its recommendations for further simplification and reduction of administrative burden in regulatory implementation.

JBCE believes that to enhance regulatory effectiveness and advance competitiveness it is essential to promote simplification. This should involve focusing on four key priorities:

• Providing clarity and timely guidance.
• Avoiding fragmentation between Member States for a true Single Market.
• Ensuring proportionality and promoting competitiveness.
• Avoiding duplication and inconsistencies.

While the reporting of critical information remains important for achieving goals such as environmental protection, product safety and a circular economy, overly complex and fragmented procedures risk discouraging compliance and diverting resources from innovation and sustainability efforts.

A simplified, harmonised regulatory environment is particularly vital for SMEs and non-EU stakeholders operating in global value chains.
