French PM appoints simplification czar

As announced on this blog, the French Prime Minister, Mr Fillon,  had decided to appoint a commissioner in charge of checking planned legislation for new administrative burdens.
The name of the incumbent of this new position has been made public: Mr Rémi Bouchez belongs to the Conseil d'Etat, the highest administrative court, and has contributed to compiling the "guide de légistique" which is the bible of all French drafters of regulation, with its emphasis on formal regularity. He will need to adopt the wider "better regulation" approach, including the economic perspective, to meet the requirements of his new mandate.
See previous post and today's press release.
The press release also confirms the search for common commencement dates, to be enforced by Mr Bouchez, and the moratorium on new regulatory burdens on local authorities.
