What does Impact assessment mean?

If an EU law or policy is likely to have a significant economic, social or environmental impact, the Commission conducts an impact assessment before making a legislative proposal. The objective of this assessment is to analyse in more detail the issue to be addressed, whether action should be taken at EU level and the potential effects of the different solutions outlined. The findings of the impact assessment process are summarised in an impact assessment report which must include a description of the environmental, social and economic impacts; who will be affected by the initiative and how, and the consultation strategy and the results obtained from it. When the impact of the new policy is not expected to be significant, the Commission conducts a Roadmap. See also ‘Roadmap’.
