Abstract:

The decision to develop a policy can be driven by many reasons. Ideally however, such a decision should be based in every case on sound analysis fed by the best data available. Impact assessment (IA) is a key tool in this respect. These Guidelines and Annexes are written for Commission staff in charge of preparing policy proposals. They define a series of steps to follow when performing an impact assessment (IA). Procedural rules are presented in Part II (planning, coordination, consultation, reporting and dissemination rules regarding the IA findings). Analytical steps are developed in Part III.
