Elected officials to complain often: the normative power of the State, but of Brussels, through their multiple orders, arrested and guidelines, also posed an increasing burden on local finances. For the first time, this phenomenon has been scanned and encrypted. The 66 projects of text (46 orders and 20 orders) for local communities in 2008 by the young Advisory Board of standards (NECC) will cost this year 455 million euros to local communities. But, at the same time, they will make them save 343 million because they can also simplify certain devices.
There is of not only losers. In the light of the financial statement that has just the forum chaired by Alain Lambert, Senator and President UMP of the General Council of the Orne, the Commons and the intercommunalités can hope to capture this year 500 million euros of new resources. It revenues relating to the optional tax for stormwater management has introduced the law on water in December 2006 and whose four regulatory texts, in 2008, received the endorsement of the NECC.

Installed on 25 September last, this instance composed of 15 elected and 7 representatives of the State has not yet reached his regime of cruise, estimated at about 300 texts per year. Its first report is not less instructive on the number of issued standards and their financial impact according to their origin, namely the ministries. The public service has produced relatively little (9) last year, but they are far more onerous (315 million euros) as relating to the increase in remuneration. The texts relating to public service, co-produced with the Ministry of the Interior, represent 69 of the costs of the measures subject to the NECC last year.
Commons in first line
The estimated cost of decrees adopted laws is to nearly 42 million euros, 9,15 of the total costs presented to the commission, which, for the moment, yet did no Community directive. In addition to the law on water, it comes to application texts relating to the Act of March 2007, reforming the legal protection of adults and act disability of February 2005, which will respectively cost 25.5 million and EUR 8.2 million in the departments. The impact of regulatory measures "of initiative" Government is not negligible. Reduction of time limits for payment of 45 to 30 days and the interest overflow recovery, was encrypted to 23 million euros in financial impact sheets transmitted by Bercy to the NECC. In advance for the markets more 20,000 euros excluding tax, contained in the Decree of implementation of the recovery plan, its cost is estimated at EUR 75 million. Conversely, the mass of texts (19) from the Ministry of labour is relatively painless (EUR 33.8 million).
Note that two thirds of the cost of the regulatory measures taken last year weigh on Commons. The following departments (29) and the regions (2). Finally, in 94 of cases, the NECC gave his notice to the texts that have been submitted. Only the orders in Council relating to payment of procurement delays suffered an unfavourable opinion. Mandatory, the assessment of the NECC is purely consultative.
