As reported before on this blog, the French National Assembly adopted on 29 February a law on legal simplilfication and red tape reduction, the fourth of the type supported by Mr Warsmann, chairman of the legal committee and the 6th since 2003. This 4th "omnibus" was supposed to be directed principally at business, but ends up, along 134 articles, with a wider scope including local authorities and other victims of red tape
Online analysts summarize for their readers the complex text, for instance, Net Iris for business, or Localtis for the local governments' point of view.
A quick perusal of the content of the law shows a real desire to abolish, merge, update legal regimes, but the sheer number and intricacy of some of the schemes shows that the simplification work remains very complex. The main surprise of this exercise now successfully concluded was the opposition of the senior parliamentary chamber (Senate) on the grounds of loss of control for the legislator, and excessive complexity (see previous posts.)
