EU Commission Unveils Plan to Simplify and Strengthen Rules

On April 28, 2026 the European Commission announced a comprehensive plan to modernise EU lawmaking. The plan aims to make rules clearer, simpler, and easier to enforce, while basing new proposals on solid evidence and addressing unnecessary complexity. The strategy focuses on five areas: 1) embedding ‘simplicity by design’ so that each rule clearly shows who must act, how to comply and the consequences of non‑compliance; 2) tightening the advanced better‑regulation framework to improve transparency, stakeholder engagement and efficiency; 3) conducting a regulatory deep‑cleaning of the EU’s large stock of existing laws, targeting inconsistencies and overlapping provisions in 12 priority sectors; 4) tackling regulatory gold‑plating by helping member states remove overly strict national rules that exceed EU law; 5) speeding up enforcement of the Single Market rulebook and reducing long‑standing infringement cases. The Commission urges Parliament and the Council to adopt these principles in all legislative processes, reinforcing Europe’s competitiveness.
