Within the Framework Contract on competitiveness studies for the European Commission, DG ENTR, headed by Vienna-based research centre WiFo, CEPS has been performing research in support of the Commission Action Programme for the measurement and the reduction of administrative burdens in Europe, launched in January 2007. This second project implied the measurement of potential savings of specific “fast track actions” selected by DG Enterprise as first measures to reduce burdens while the measurement was still ongoing. These actions were analysed in three progress reports.
