On May 6, 2025, we will re -provide how to influence the Legtech and Digital Compulsion on competitiveness, which are the most important legal and regulatory fields that determine the presence of companies in the digital space.
Although there is a society on paper, the tires and regulations involved in the state’s decision, in fact, the world’s governments still make decisions without appropriate preparation. For ordinary people, the operations are transparent, and rarely participate in a dialogue with experts and economic operators. And if they do so, the effects of directly associated with the area are analyzed superficially, the narrow spectrum.
All this has significantly shook confidence in the governments of each country.
According to the recent study of “organizational policy expectations”, only 41 % of the citizens of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development are confident that their government will properly organize new technologies. In the case of climate change objectives, confidence is less: only 35 % believe that their country will meet the purpose of reducing emissions. This lack of confidence is a dangerous obstacle to achieving long -term policy goals.
Social advice is already mandatory in 76 % of the member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to prepare regulations. At the same time, only 49 % of countries provide at least four weeks for consultation in Hungary, and there is a rare social consultation or law, but it does not last more than two weeks.
The most problematic is this globally, only 33 % of governments make notes to those who send comments.
This means that the consultations do not enhance a meaningful dialogue, and the participants often do not know how their opinions affected the decision.
The European Union appears as a positive example in the report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The committee provided measures that allow sign language consultations, Braille, and consultations to coordinate audio and video. As a result of comprehensive coordination, participation has also increased through social groups represented.
Not enough if you have – you have to do well
The introduction to the organizational impact assessment (RIA) is a common practice among the member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development: according to the report, 80 %, including Hungary. However, only 33 member states require estimated costs of regulations mandatory and systematic. There are fewer countries to determine the expected benefits of the organization, although it is not possible to make a good decision.
In terms of transparency, Hungary is included in the lower half of the field
Meanwhile, the Hungarian government is practically not analyzing a previously transparent effect.
Examination of the effects of distribution – such as sets of specific regulations to negatively or preferably – is also not part of the practice of each country. The best regulating tools fund for the European Commission requires to take into account the social effects, but the application is uneven. While approximately 70 % of RIAS contains such an analysis in Sweden and the United Kingdom, in other countries less than 10 %.
It is not enough to evaluate extensive effects
The report also mentions specific cases the cause of a problem if the adoption of the legislation is not accompanied by professional and social consultation. One of these selective examples is the economic impact of measures against deficiency of microorganisms, such as enriching food. Sincere foods are products – whether food or drinks – to which vitamins, minerals or other healthy ingredients add to improve their nutritional or biological use.
OECD indicates estimates that these measures can increase the gross domestic product by up to 16 % in some developing countries.
This can be explained mainly by reducing health spending and improving work productivity.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, millions of children suffer from deficiency of microscopic nutrients every year, which reduces the long -term cognitive capabilities and economic activity. According to World Bank estimates, food problems cause a loss of at least one billion dollars annually in the global economy.
At the same time, in the case of food regulations, the additional burden is calculated on production companies and health effects when preparing for government decisions only, not economic effects, and even focus on that, is not accompanied by food related exams.
According to the report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, there are few regulations in developing countries, although the participation of professional players in legislation can help countries focus only on health and food safety as well, but also on the available economic results.
An example of enriching food also explains the reason for the importance of involving social partners when preparing legal regulations, as he explains, through a somewhat marginal and specific condition, what are the complex effects that should be taken into account.
Green Organization: It is still an exception, not a rule
The integration of aspects of climate protection into organizational decisions is amazingly low: only 21 % of member states have reviewed the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, its organizational framework through the “green lens”. This means that most legislation does not measure the effect of carbon dioxide emissions, pollution or biological diversity. In the absence of this, organizational reforms often contradict the climate goals.
“Franco-LERMANARMERER On Complexity” is a unique example of organizational cooperation across the border. The goal of the scale was to define the most annoying organizational obstacles to the population. As a result, for example, the ticket system for the tram line between Strasbourg and Kehl, who have not been coordinated before. After the change, the use of the tram increased by 17 %, while the movement of high cars decreased by 11 %, according to the report of the local transport company 2023.
Not only did this achieve positive results for climate protection, but also from an economic point of view: maintaining the public transport system has become empty after the previous loss.
Dirt is just an option, not a solution
The use of digital technologies is spread in organizational practice. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, more and more governments use artificial intelligence devices, track real time and web data, for example, to determine non -compliance. Canada, for example, reduced the number of food safety checks by 22 % by analyzing the risk -based risk.
At the same time, the study warns that digitization works only if it is combined with the quality of the correct data, transparent algorithms and appropriate supervisory mechanisms. Otherwise, the system may result in distorted results and undermine public confidence, especially if human experts do not participate in evaluation or preparation.
We also need radical changes in Hungary
In Hungary, all legislation and initial regulations must be subject to the evaluation of the effect on legislation since the legislation in 2023, which was required by the European Commission as part of the rule of law. According to local law, the Central Statistical Office provides data for these analyzes-a rare but positive practice among the member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
However, according to the study, consultation does not occur in the early stages of the organizational cycle, comments, and evaluation of the previous effect at the system level. Although the central consultation portal is limited, the detection of initial effect assessments is often just a formal procedure, expanded summaries of the content and the expected results of the organization.
Hungary suggests from OECD, among other things, the following:
- Beginning in the stage of identifying the problem;
- Comparative publishing for initial effect assessments;
- Provide an advice period of at least 4 weeks;
- Improving the technical quality of effect assessments;
- Combuting, regular -evaluation.
