eParticipation is about reconnecting ordinary people with politics and policy-making and making the decision-making processes easier to understand and follow through the use of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Many European Union member states have been successful in reforming their legislation. Poland, too, has been undertaking measures towards a simplification and rationalization of the legislation process as well as a systematization of the existing laws. Apart from simplification of the existing law the Programme involves measures aimed at improving the quality of the legislative process. The main idea is that the new laws created by the Government and Parliament should respond to socio-economic needs, and the benefits of their introduction for businesses and consumers should outweigh the implementation costs. Another measure aimed at improving the quality of legal regulations will be the introduction of a system for evaluation of bureaucracy costs relating to the so-called administrative burdens suffered by entrepreneurs. The effective and transparent consultation process concerning documents (legal acts) at the various stages of their creation also should not be disregarded. Wide-range consultations of legal acts or other governmental documents with social partners should always constitute the basis for correct regulations, which will subsequently prove to be accepted and observed by its beneficiaries. Better law-making is an on-going process which is to be continued.
