Behavioural insights for smarter regulation (EU)

On the LinkedIn Smart Regulation forum, A. Alemanno informs us that DG SANCO has responded - on behalf of the European Commission - to his editorial "Nudging Europe” (see previous blog item) Published in the current issue of European Voice, the response lists a number of instances in which the European Commission (and the co-legislators) would have integrated behavioural insights into its policymaking. In a short analysis of the Commission's response, published on his blog Alberto argues that the Commission's cannot claim to have systematically introduced behavioural insights, though some ad hoc usage has occurred over the last few years in several DGs. Both the response and the new development make most interesting reading.
