Last week, Regulatory Reform was in the news in Mexico, where a very active agency (COFEMER) has been conducting work for a number of years. The third annual meeting of the national commission for regulatory reform held on 19 November was the opportunity to take stock of progress made, especially in e-gov procedures for citizens and business, and promote good regulatory practice. A federal level online one-stop-shop (ww.tuempresa.gov.mx) was recently upgraded for the registration of new companies.
Two traits characterize the Mexican approach to regulatory reform:
- Regulatory reform is considered a major contribution to national competitiveness, the point was again made by the ministerin charge, J. A.Torre at the event, as he highlighted the results of the implementation of the OECD guide on regulatory quality and competitiveness. Mexico is the only country to have organised an international conference linking the two themes (see OECD report);
- better regulation principles are applied not only a the federal, but also at the sub-national level (see OECD 2010 report). Compilation and promotion of good regulatory practices is key to the overall improvements. As part of the last week's conference proceedings, OECD published a report (in Spanish) on the 19 successful practices presented by A. Carballo, DG of COFEMER and compiled with OECD support (J. Pastor Garcia Villareal, from the regulatory policy division, who attended the conference)
