In 2022, the Finnish Council of Regulatory Impact Analysis issued a total of 42 statements on draft government proposals and one draft government decree. In addition to the societally most significant and comprehensive government proposals, the Council issued statements on narrower government proposals.
In the Council’s view, the shortcomings detected in government proposals in 2022 were very similar to those observed in previous years. In its statements, the Council paid most attention to the quantitative assessment of proposals, the review of alternative solutions, and the description of risks and uncertainties. The Council also found room for improvement in the assessment of business impact and in recognising impacts on diverse groups of people.
The Council’s observations indicate that the quality of impact assessments included in government proposals improved slightly from the previous year. Two draft government proposals earned the highest appraisal: the draft proposal on remote participation and online meetings in limited liability companies, limited liability housing companies and cooperatives prepared by the Ministry of Justice, and the draft proposal on the Pilotage Act prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
This annual review contains the Council’s observations on legislative drafting during the government terms of Prime Minister Antti Rinne and Prime Minister Sanna Marin. The Council paid special attention to the management and resourcing of legislative drafting, fundamental and human rights, and the assessment of changes in information management.
