US RR programme publishes results

Today the media (ex Bloomberg) are giving great coverage to the announcement  by the White House of the outcome of the review launched  by President Obama in January, with a view to "create a 21st-century regulatory system – one protects public health and welfare while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation. His Executive Order on Regulation, in short, said the following: Always consider costs and ways to reduce burdens for American businesses when developing rules; expand opportunities for public participation and public comment; and ensure that regulations are driven by real science." As a result of that review, more than two dozen agencies have identified initiatives to reduce burdens and save money. The agency plans are now available on the White House site, special portal for Regulatory Reform.
