Better law regulation in the EU and its influence on informatization
One of the natural properties of a man is competitivity and the desire to win. This property generates progress what leads to achievements. Another property is the effort to maintain the achievements. The size of the company is proved by support of those human properties. But is it always like that? Do the powers of the company act always in the correct direction? The information and statistics assist in company management. Their thorough analysis enables the company and the state to plan the direction of assistance and to efficiently use transparent tools for fulfilment of the programme objectives. The same information and statistics, however, generate administrative burden which the entities include in their prices. Which part of administrative costs is “good” and what is “bad”? Which part of administrative costs is necessary and under which conditions and which part is just a result of eager observation of legislation? Can be the part of administrative costs which increases the price of the product thus excluding it from the market when its substitution, i.e. acquisition of information in another way shifts the product to the category of competitive product addressed as inevitable? What is the content of better legal adjustment? Why does EU Commission consider the field of better regulation and reduction of administrative burden one of the key fields in the fulfilment of objectives of the Lisbon Strategy of competitiveness and growth? What are the objectives and tools on the Community level? And especially – what tools does the state have to guard and remove the eager bureaucracy?
