“Quality, not quantity”, that should be the premise in the Congress of the Union, said Olga Sánchez Cordero.
“Legislators should not be evaluated by the quantity of initiatives that we present, but by their quality, by the impact that they can have for the recipients of the norms and for the operators of these legal norms. This is one of the great themes of this Congress ”.
When participating in the First International Congress on Legislative Impact Analysis, the president of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Senators reflected:
“How many are the laws that are actually complied with? How many remain a dead letter because they are unviable from an administrative point of view, or from a budgetary point of view, or from a social or even legal point of view, by the antinomies that can arise? ”, he said.
He celebrated the holding of the forum, in which more than 600 experts from six countries will present their points of view for two days, “with the hope that the results of these conferences will leave a seed in the field of national legislative work, so that the legislative impact assessment allows the law to continue to be the most important substantive instrument of social transformation ”in Mexico.
He commented that in recent years the belief has been formed that the implementation of a new law or the modification of an existing one can successfully solve a certain problem.
“This belief has resulted in parliaments being the recipients of an increasing number of bills, initiatives, laws and decrees, determining what is commonly called – so it is called – legislative inflation.”
At the parliamentary level, he explained, the evaluation and analysis of the legislative impact, which originated in Europe, serves to have technical instruments and a specific methodology to review the viability of regulatory proposals in the government, which is the one who implements them, such as for all legal operators and, above all, citizens who are the ones who ultimately suffer its effects.
