	12a. Emphasises that the principle of the rule of law must be interpreted on the basis of strictly legal, objective and predictable criteria, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity and the principle of equality among Member States; recalls that the implementation of Union law is primarily the responsibility of the Member States and cannot justify an extension of the Union’s powers beyond those conferred upon it by the Treaties; emphasises that respect for the rule of law also applies to the Union’s institutions, which must act within the limits of the powers conferred upon them by the Treaties;

Paragraph 36

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
36. Stresses that the simplification of EU law must not be conflated with deregulation; emphasises that the Commission’s simplification efforts, which bundle the fate of various legislative acts, should in no way be automatic and must, where necessary, be subject to thorough impact assessments and meaningful stakeholder consultations; emphasises that streamlining legal texts and procedures can improve clarity, legal certainty, and administrative efficiency; reiterates that quality, clear and cohesive EU legislation is an essential condition for effective, correct and uniform transposition by the Member States that preserves essential policy objectives and protections; highlights that the aim of such a simplification process must be to reduce technical complexity, eliminate regulatory overlaps, harmonise the definitions and procedures laid down by acts governing related fields and guarantee the technical feasibility of implementation in national law; points out the importance of coherence across legislative instruments in order to avoid duplications and contradictions that add complexity and hinder effective implementation; emphasises that reducing administrative burdens is inseparable from ensuring accessibility, which can be effectively achieved through well-designed digital tools that are simple and inclusive for all users;	36.
