To call for the development of empirical evidence-based policies

Current legislation needs to make it mandatory for public decisions to be accompanied by an appendix of evidence on objective data to show that a thorough study has been carried out on the subject at hand. To do so whenever the complexity of the subject calls for it, the proposal has been made to set up specific multi-disciplinary groups that operate with transparency and stringency to put forward scientific evidence-based solutions following a preliminary open dialogue which must take into consideration the concerns of citizens, as does the US Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, for instance.
