Conclusions for application of SCM in Poland The Office of the Committee for European Integration n Research problems u u u the case of screening a segment of legislation hampers objective measurement of all IOs the level of detail involved and cross-sectional character of information a catalogue of IOs and measures should be adjusted to screened legal acts and specifics of IOs the problem of „depreciation” of one-off costs difficulty with allowing for costs of appeals against administrative decisions (issuing of a licence etc. )

General conclusions for application of SCM in Poland The Office of the Committee for European Integration n SCM method can be applied for measurement of AB in Polish legislation u u results are as expected values– approximation of real costs – high sensitivity to a change in model assumptions estimates in the scale of entire legislation – results are more coherent and representative but u it is necessary to define the research correctly, u it is necessary to cooperate with business entities
