– the Research Network on EU Administrative Law

ReNEUAL addresses the potential and the substantial need for simplification of EU administrative law, as the body of rules and principles governing the implementation of EU policies by EU institutions and Member States. EU administrative law has evolved on a policy-by-policy basis in an unsystematic and non-transparent manner. Simplification can be achieved by the rationalisation and improvement of structures and methodology used throughout EU policy fields.

Members of ReNEUAL contribute to establishing a series of draft "restatements" and proposals for best-practice guidelines of a general European administrative procedure law. These may in future serve as a template or frame of reference for future case-law and general or policy-specific legislation.
