The call to reduce the administrative burden on businesses requires an assessment of the sources and methods used for compiling EBS to ensure that the impact on the businesses is as limited as possible.

The tasks and deliverables under this contract would support the Commission in drawing conclusions and deciding on the policy options concerning a potential amendment of the EBS Regulation, as well as on drafting the Commission Staff Working Document accompanying a potential proposal for amendment to the EBS Regulation.
