for register vehicles, methodology for single office
etc) (MIAR);
Initiatives for improving the transposition process
of European legislation (DAE);
Problem definition

Low quality of regulation and public policy due to improper

an integrated approach for reducing the administrative burdens;
Lack of an integrated approach regarding the process of
simplification of legislation (increased number of normative acts,
legislative instability, frequent changes of legislation,
republications etc.);
Low quality of regulation issued by the agencies for regulation
and inspection, due to their improper institutional framework;
Lack of an integrated approach regarding the process of
improving the transposition of European legislation into the
national legislation;
