Conclusions for application of SCM in Poland

• Research problems
• 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

• SCM method can be applied for measurement of AB
  in Polish legislation
• 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
• it is necessary to define the research correctly,
  
• it is necessary to cooperate with business
  entities

13
Complementary projects

• Benchmarking project comparison of Polish
  results against Dutch ones
• quantitative results
• modality of the acquis implementation
• Social survey (qualitative)
• perception of regulatory barriers
• impact of barriers on entities competitiveness
• other sources of impediments to pursuance of
  business activity in the road transport sector
