sääntelyperuste

Sääntelyperuste refers to the legal or factual grounds upon which a regulatory measure is based. It provides the justification for why a particular regulation or restriction is necessary. In essence, it answers the question of "why is this regulation needed?"

These grounds can stem from various sources. They may be rooted in public interest, such as protecting public health, ensuring safety, preserving the environment, or maintaining economic stability. For instance, regulations on food safety are based on the public interest of protecting citizens from harmful substances.

Sääntelyperuste can also be derived from international agreements, EU law, or national legislation. When a country is a signatory to an international treaty or a member of a supranational organization like the European Union, it may be obligated to implement regulations that align with those commitments. National parliaments enact laws that serve as the foundational sääntelyperuste for many regulatory bodies.

Furthermore, sääntelyperuste can arise from identified risks or problems that require intervention. This could involve addressing market failures, preventing monopolies, combating fraud, or mitigating negative externalities. The existence of a clear and demonstrable problem often necessitates the creation of a regulatory solution. The strength and validity of the sääntelyperuste are crucial for the legitimacy and enforceability of any regulation.
