It introduces, among other things, a clear separation of responsibilities between the EC legislator and the European standards bodies CEN,
In their efforts to establish a legal framework characterised by the fundamental values of order, stability and predictability, legislators,
legislators would need to explain both the future need and the future consequences that a particular piece of legislation would address (preferably through the support of scenario planning and/or the use of modelling analysis). In order words,
legislators would define their desirable futures in laws, using the latter as enablers of their vision of the future.
which the desired future envisaged by the legislator would be compared with the future effectively attained (that is,
and legislators to identify future regulatory gaps and needs. These surveys constitute adequate tools to collect information
legislators and legal practitioners to better understand the world in which Law needs to operate.
scenario planning can be associated with modelling analysis to allow legislators to test different legal options and regulatory solutions within simulated environments.
Through the use of modelling instruments, legislators would not only be able to receive relevant information of future societal trends
Modelling techniques would allow legislators and decision makers to test the prospective impacts and consequences of a given change in legislation.
The latter could in this way help legislators to better enact new laws and revise existing ones, contributing to better lawmaking
it would also render legislators and legal practitioners more attentive (and also more accountable) to the outcomes and impact of enacted or revised legislation.
In this respect, legislators should have at their disposal the largest quantity and quality of information available about the society,
which might require the attention of legislators at some later point in time''.''Regarding technology assessment, it is interesting to note that it‘‘originally emerged with the aim of contributing to the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches of government,
as well as of the strategic implications for national legislators derived from the analysis of those scenarios,
