French president announces time to deregulate

It is rare that regulatory policy makes headlines in France, but here is one of these rare occasions: President Sarkozy, describing his political agenda from now to the next presidential elections, said in an interview published today in Figaro Magazine, that he would call in 2011 for a "pause" in legislating activity to give Parliament a chance to improve the reforms that have already been implemented, and even, during the second part of 2011, to deregulate (in French "délégiférer")if required. "Complexity is such that no-one fully understands the law. Tackling the magnum opus of legislative and administrative simplification will by then be long overdue."
