The roundtable will discuss the results of a Call for Evidence on an environmental simplification package that launched on 22 July and ended on 10 September. The purpose of the consultation was to identify ways to simplify reporting, permitting and reduce administrative burden. Simplifying and improving EU laws will make rules clearer and easier to understand, and faster and cheaper to implement. Today’s roundtable enables an open discussion with stakeholders to identify key actions to reduce administrative burden. The objective of the environmental simplification initiative is to make it easier to implement environmental laws while avoiding deregulation.
