Impact of the liberalisation and economic reforms process on economic growth in the European Union

The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Carles-Alfred GASOLIBA I BÖHM (ELDR, E). However, the Parliament deplores the fact that in some Member States over-regulation is accompanied by a slow and inefficient bureaucracy, which is preventing economic activity from flourishing. On the other hand, it considers that one of the major factors in achieving the goal set at Lisbon will be to continue the balance between liberalisation and regulation policies at national and European level, not least by means of coordinated policies at Union level and the early adoption of the necessary legislative and administrative instruments.
