Impact Assessment

Instructions for use

The aim of the IA Fiche is to provide up-to-date information on the handling of lA within the Council,
and to follow up on Coreper's request for receiving more regular information on IA within the Council.

An IA Fiche should be created for every Commission Proposal which is examined within the Council
preparatory bodies, including those which are not accompanied by an IA. It should be submitted
after WP discussions are held, and completed once the examination reaches Coreper level.

The IA Fiche should be a living document that should be regularly updated in the light of IA
developments within the Council's preparatory bodies. Existing fiches can be retrieved and updated using the search function below.

Your feedback is important. It will feed into the IA reporting to Coreper. Do not feel limited by the
scope of the questions if you have other remarks arising from your experience.
