Ireland welcomes OECD BR review

While all of Europe is anxiously watching Ireland the Irish PM has endorsed OECD’s view that BR can help his country exit the economic crisis. See press release which shows the government wants to harness the potential of BR. “Noting that in many areas Ireland compares well with its European counterparts, the Taoiseach acknowledged that a greater engagement with the agenda is needed across the Government system. Referring to the need for strong linkages between this agenda and economic renewal and public service transformation strategies, he stated, "it is clear that Better Regulation has a key role to play in our efforts to improve competitiveness and reinvigorate the economy. Initiatives in this field are already contributing to better and clearer legislation and improved regulation of key sectors of the economy but further improvements are needed”
