Open access to the rule of law: how can we help the citizen find his way in the maze of regulation ? Jean-Pierre BALCOU Head of the better regulation Unit General secretariat of the French Governement

Overview What does « access to the law » mean exactly ? Principle : « nobody is deemed to be ignorant of the law » Reality : a maze of law and administrative regulation No so easy for professionals, impossible for the citizens to find their way through it

Initiatives from public bodies Making the law understandable : the way it is designed and written Enabling everyone to get simple information about legislation in force : public web sites, information desks or services Providing some help from members of legal professions

Disseminating legislation Legal context in France for disseminating legislation by electronic means How is Legifrance designed ? Can private editors get licences ? A specific committee supervising the system : public service committee for dissemination of the law by internet

What advantages ? Free and easy access to regulation for everyone An easy way to let foreign stakeholders know about french legislation A limited cost in comparison of its impact A convenient tool for all the legal professions and the public bodies themselves

What about access to EU legislation ? Availability of legal information at the community level General databases Eur lex Other sites in project Organisational and technical issues to be dealt with

Prospects All member states and EU institutions face the same difficulties. An opportunity to share good practices ? Our proposal : making access to legal information a part of the Better regulation policy as a whole How would it be possible ? Making all stake holder meet around a table ?

Competitiveness council 25-26 september 2008 Specific conclusions about access to law Basic principles for action Challenging objectives for improving EU sites Part of the Better regulation policy Links between the member states level and EU level : DEBR is a good place to make initiatives converge
