Summary
According to the Government Programme of Prime Minister Sanna Marin, the Government will draw up a comprehensive action plan for better regulation. The objective of the Action Plan is to improve the quality, planning and transparency of legislative drafting within the Government through various measures.
Starting points
The objective of the Action Plan is to improve the quality, planning and transparency of legislative drafting within the Government through various measures.
The Action Plan and the related implementation plan have been drawn up in cooperation between several ministries. The Action Plan covers the years 2020–2023, but it may also include projects that are launched during the actual term of the Action Plan but are estimated to end later. A separate implementation plan will be drawn up to support the Action Plan.
On 14 October 2019, the Ministry of Justice appointed a cooperation group for the development of legislative drafting, which serves as steering group for the implementation of the Action Plan. The cooperation group will outline policies as well as monitor and assess the achievement of the objectives of the Action Plan.
