(AGENPARL) - Roma, 5 Maggio 2023 - (AGENPARL) – BRUXELLES ven 05 maggio 2023 The initiative’s aim is to revise the rules of the current EU legislation on design protection. Based on an evaluation of the current framework in line with the ‘evaluate first’ principle, the impact assessment examines the nature and scale of the problems and who is affected by them. It establishes a clear intervention logic, from the problems and their drivers, to the initiative’s objectives and the options. The IA presents a sufficient range of options and sub-options. However, not all sub-options constitute alternatives from which to choose. The qualitative and quantitative assessment of impacts focuses on the socio-economic impacts. Limitations in the analysis are described in a transparent manner. Overall, the views of stakeholders on the problems, the problem drivers, the objectives and the options are well described in the IA. However, with the exception of the diverging stakeholder views on the spare parts market liberalisation, the IA would have benefited from a more detailed breakdown of stakeholder views by stakeholder group. Simplifying procedures and adjusting the RCD fee system would be particularly beneficial for SMEs.
