The European Commission launched on the 17.4.00 the 'Business Feedback Mechanism', a new initiative to ensure future policy making can take better account of the practical experience of European businesses operating in the Internal Market. Under this initiative, queries from business to 41 Euro Info Centres will be analysed in order to pinpoint which issues give rise to most problems for business. The Commission will be able to take account of this analysis, which will be available on-line, in future policy making. The 41 EICs participating in the scheme, covering all Member States, have been selected as the most representative of the 300 such Centres, which provide information, advice and assistance to business on EU-related issues. The 'Business Feedback Mechanism' initiative will help the Commission to fulfil the Lisbon European Council's request to 'pay particular attention to the impact and compliance costs of new proposals' and to 'pursue their Dialogue with Business and Citizens with this in mind'. The Dialogue with Business website (http://europa.eu.int/business) has received more than 2.5 million requests for information and advice since its launch in January 1999. |
