European leaders have called for clearer and simpler EU legislation that is better understood by the public. While efforts have been made, including guidelines for clear drafting and a joint practical guide, making EU laws accessible remains difficult due to having 23 official languages, autonomous legal concepts, and laws negotiated by 27 member states. It is important to improve accessibility given the EU's 500 million citizens and global impact. A package of measures is proposed, including specialized drafters, training, technology, vetting, and binding requirements for clarity in EU laws.Plain legal French in Canada and in the world - Nicole Ferbach

This document discusses the transition from paper-based to electronic disclosure of financial information. It argues that current disclosure practices are outdated and do not meet investors' needs in the digital age. The key points made are:
1) Disclosure is currently a top-down, paper-driven process but investors now operate in a bottom-up, digital world.
2) Financial data and capital have been digitized and can now flow globally, so disclosure systems must also go digital to keep pace.
3) The shift from paper to digital is profoundly changing how information is accessed, just as the invention of the printing press was centuries ago. Disclosure must be rethought for this new environment.
