Regulatory Impact Assessment & Better Regulation

It covers the core elements of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA), including regulatory problem definition, cost-benefit and risk analysis, stakeholder consultation, identification of regulatory burdens and the development of practical approaches to regulatory simplification.
