Paragraph 23

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
23. Encourages the Commission and the Member States to strengthen structured cooperation and early-warning mechanisms that help detect problems with transposition or implementation before formal infringement procedures become necessary; urges the Member States to strictly adhere to transposition deadlines, follow the guidelines issued by the Commission and actively and fully engage in implementation dialogues, and to notify the Commission in a timely manner about potential obstacles and issues with transposition and implementation, in order to avoid delays, errors and potential penalties; calls for further support to build Member States’ administrative and technical capacity in this regard; regrets that some Member States either report transposition and/or implementation issues too late or fail to report them altogether, resulting in delays that negatively affect EU citizens and businesses; recalls that the Member States participate in the legislative procedure through the Council as co-legislator; stresses that the lack of enforcement of EU law undermines citizens’ perception of the EU and its ability to deliver results;	23.

Motion for a resolution

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. Emphasises that the Commission’s simplification efforts, which bundle the fate of various legislative acts, are based on feedback regarding the potentially harmful consequences of over-regulation by the EU and on 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; recalls, in this regard, that excessive regulation, administrative burdens and obligations lead to a legal system that is complex, unenforceable and counterproductive; 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;
