Automatically sunset regulations

All regulations should be voided after 10 years, and should have to be reassessed again at EU level before re voted on.

    This isn’t a concrete action. It would turn things into chaos, and would take another 10 years for Europe to bounce back as a civilized continent.

    3 years, not 10

    Having regulations should be the hardest thing ever. Make it costly and time consuming to keep a regulation in place.

    Yes, and new regulations should come at a cost for policy makers when they put a burden on companies or citizens.

    What about a ladder with bigger steps each time, first prolong for 5, then 10, then 15.

    That could mean only the important stuff gets to stay longer but doesnt have to keep defending itself over and over.

    You want to do this but have no central bureaucracy? This sounds like a huge waste of time.

    I agree but the clock for this should start 9.5 years ago, so everything must be re-evaluated or lose its status. Very important - this prevents current and future bloat of regulations, and it’s the only way the “apparatus” doesn’t take full control.

    A system creating regulations simply lives and thrives on more regulations to regulate so it is under a force function to create ever more regulations - this would prevent that, the US needs that too.

    A great idea! How is it not in the common law principles?

    10 years is still too long in the fast-paced world of AI and robotics

      It would need to start 9.5 years ago.

      But yeah, 7 years seems a better fit. You don’t want regulations change daily, or expire all the time, but you do want them reviewed or expired eventually.
