Abstract
Better regulation is an agenda aiming at managing legislation across the different stages of the policy cycle. At the EU level, this agenda for reform has been handled as soft law with communications, reports, principles, and toolboxes. The ambiguity of the concept has created a policy arena where the EU institutions jockey for positions on the control of the law-making process. We then turn to the Member States. For their better regulation policies, they have chosen a combination of soft and hard instruments and different degrees of formalization. Tellingly, this variation shows the different views and assumptions on the efficiency of soft law as well as of the role played by legal and administrative traditions.
