The EU Legislators’ Toolbox comprises approximately 350 regulatory tools that have already been tested by the European Union in at least some regulatory sectors. We are now making this document — previously used internally — accessible to all those working on new EU legislation. It is designed to support legislative drafters and those institutionally responsible for improving the quality of EU law.

The Toolbox helps to avoid reinventing the wheel. Above all, it enables EU legislation to be made more complete and therefore more efficient, while reducing the risk of diverging interpretations. The use of these tools promotes a more uniform, consistent, and stringent application of the law. Indirectly, it contributes to creating and preserving a level playing field, thereby fostering trust and confidence.
Despite multiple rounds of revision, the Toolbox may still contain errors. We therefore welcome any feedback that helps us identify and correct them.
