European Ombudswoman Teresa Anjinho concluded that the European Commission’s response to her findings on the preparation of urgent legislative proposals was overall constructive but too general to determine if future urgent law‑making will be sufficiently transparent, evidence‑based, and inclusive. She said the measures the Commission plans to adopt are described in general terms and often lack specificity and concrete commitments. The Commission’s communication on reforming Better Regulation rules does not provide enough detail to assess whether all good‑law‑making principles will be upheld in urgent situations or whether the Ombudswoman’s recommendations will be fully implemented. Anjinho noted a risk that urgent procedures could become predominant if urgency is not clearly defined, and questioned whether calls for evidence will ensure adequate stakeholder engagement. She will continue to monitor the situation through future complaints.
