The French Prime Minister issued in July a new circular (non legally binding instruction to ministers) upgrading procedures for better "legal security and predictability, and simplification of ill-adapted or obsolete rules" and also to improve the attractiveness of the French legal model. The text primarily deals with organisational issues: annex I offers ways to enhance the regulatory management process (with better planning and monitoring of the legal production); annex II suggests improved documentation of new regulations, including early planning of subordinate legislation and RIAs and the drafting of short presentation note stating the public(s) concerned and new legal content (akin to the EU "citizen's summary"). In spite of the mention of "attractiveness" in the first paragraph, the circular consolidates the traditional legal approach to law drafting.
