AFG responded to the all for evidence launched in January 2026 by the European Commission on Better Regulation (4,000-character consultation format), setting out its proposals by answering the following three questions:

1)How could the Commission better reconcile the need for evidence-based policies and urgent action in the conduct of its better regulation activities?
2) How could the Commission ensure a holistic approach to stakeholder consultations with a view to implementing a more efficient and effective manner to gathering essential information, including possibly across policy fields?
3) What practical steps could be undertaken to make EU laws simpler and easier to implement in practice (for example as regards the legal instruments, the use of delegated and implementing acts, or the application of digital tools, etc.)?

AFG is committed to ensuring that the asset management sector is fully integrated into the current European discussions on competitiveness, simplification, and the strategic autonomy of the European Union, as part of the Commission’s work on the Savings and Investment Union.
