Environmental regulation stringency — emissions caps, standards, phase-out mandates, carbon pricing, renewable portfolio standards.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
The Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (COM(2020) 667), part of the European Green Deal, set an agenda for revising the REACH regulation, expanding restrictions on substances of concern (PFAS, endocrine disruptors), tightening hazard classifications under CLP, and adopting a "one-substance, one-assessment" framework. It directs subsequent legislative proposals administered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the Commission to phase out the most harmful chemicals from consumer use.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
