At the moment of writing, we are waiting for the publication of the new Communication of the European Commission on better regulation, originally announced for Spring 2020 and then delayed to Autumn 2020, re-scheduled for February 2021 and now announced for the end of April 2021. To understand the Communication, however, we need a map to navigate the better regulation strategy of the European Commission, and situate events like the publication of a Communication in the broader political context of the European Union (EU). To provide such a map is the aim in this paper. Indeed, this is a good time to look at what has been achieved in the domain of better regulation, and what has changed along the way both in the political context, and in the social climate. Policy paradigms in economic, innovation and sustainability policy have also moved fast. It is always useful to rewind the clock and listen to what the recent political history has to tell us. Hence let us start with the question what was the state of play with better regulation when the new Commission chaired by Ursula von der Leyen started its operations? Was EU-style better regulation in need of major repair, or was it grosso modo doing well?
