Regulatory Improvement
Regulation plays an essential role in the functioning of modern states and their economies. For that purpose it is important to bring improvements not only to the policy formulation phase - related to specific problems countries are facing nowadays - but also to the process of drafting, enacting and enforcing of legislation. In short, there is a need to improve regulatory management capacities, including the use of specific tools such as simplification, consultation, impact assessment, etc.
This represents a challenge, especially for the countries in the process of accessing the EU, where legislation is very rapidly adopted and/or amended with the only criteria of harmonising it to the acquis communautaire.
Our support is thus focused on improving regulatory management standards, to strengthen quality assurance, legal efficiency and effectiveness, realistic enforcement planning, etc. During the past years we have been involved in the drafting of legislation in fields of state administration, administrative procedures, civil service, consumer protection, data protection, banking, quality standards, competition & state aid, intellectual propriety and more.
Our areas of expertise are:
- Regulatory management policies,
- Legislation drafting, enactement and enforcement,
- Regulatory impact assessment,
- Legal harmonisation with the acquis,
- Alternative to regulations,
- Legislation training programs for civil servants,
- and more
