The country profiles provide an overview of regulatory practices including key achievements and areas for improvement for all EU Member States and the European Union. The country’s composite indicator scores for stakeholder engagement, regulatory impact assessment and ex post evaluation illustrate the situation of each country in these areas. Profiles also include information on the use of regulatory management tools for EU-made laws in each EU Member State as well as the institutional setup for regulatory oversight in each country.
