Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the concept of Better Regulation (BetReg), in particular its implementation mechanisms in light of the latest documents of EU bodies and its application in the European Union legislative procedures. It will illustrate both viable aspects and shortcomings of this initiative. The authors argue that the better regulation postulate has a horizontal nature. It is an initiative that brings tangible and noticeable effects; however, it must be applied as an EU legislative standard for the whole EU law: not only for that being designed or amended but also for assessing the existing law in all EU law-making institutions and countries implementing European legislation. A question is raised whether BetReg has a real impact on legislative practice or whether it remains predominantly a postulate. The hypothesis is that BetReg is already a mature project and may significantly improve the legislative environment in the EU. It should be noted that the paper covers only a fraction of the problems, the comprehensive examination of which would allow verification of the hypothesis.
