Regulation and use of broad Regulatory Impact Assessments

Expert review of regulations, interviews with representatives of the relevant quality control body and analysis of five sample draft new laws to identify if the use of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is regulated and applied in practice. RIAs must cover a wide range of impacts, such as social, economic and environmental. The examples must be approved by the government during the year prior to the latest full calendar year (except those laws that approve or amend the state budget and ratify international agreements).
