Omschrijving
Legislative Drafting for the EU calls for reform in the design of EU legislation to bolster its strength in political, social, and economic spheres. The book offers technical guidance on how to achieve such reform through drafting, and underlines the importance of accessible communication to create collective ownership of the regulatory aims.
‘For our political family in the European Parliament, law-making is not just about making law, but about communicating with citizens. This is not just a matter of law, but a matter of trust on which all laws need to be founded. Prof. Xanthaki's excellent work is a timely and much-needed reminder that legal drafting is a tool for bridging the gap between the EU and its citizens.’
‘Most of the debate on the policy trajectory of the European Union gravitates around the goal of the digital and ecological transition. Yet, to achieve that goal, both the EU institutions and the Member States have to upgrade significantly their legislative culture, approach and regulatory techniques. Professor Helen Xanthaki is uniquely positioned to provide a blueprint of transposition techniques, balancing with exquisite intellect and experience the art and science of this complex yet fundamental task.’
‘Authoritative, comprehensive in scope, practical in focus, and well-written, this book deserves to become a point of reference in the field.’
