    The report expands on the need to reduce administrative burdens, with new targets and references to reports by Draghi, Letta and Niinistö. It adds calls for better enforcement, including infringement procedures and cooperation among authorities, and for addressing regulatory fragmentation. It strengthens provisions on impact assessments, including competitiveness checks and the role of the Regulatory Scrutiny Board. It introduces new paragraphs on digital policy, consumer protection, and the services sector, with specific measures such as digital labelling and the 28th legal regime. The other changes are formal or wording updates, including corrections and rephrasing.
