European regions ponder smart regulation

With all eyes on the new Belgian government constituted after a record inter-regnum, how could we not signal that Flanders has just uploaded proceeds of the conference announced on this blog, which invited officials from regions of European countries to reflect on "How do Flanders and the other European regions cope with the competency for smart regulation in a multilevel environment?" Representatives from Wales, Lombardy, Scotland and Flanders presented their regional policy of smart regulation and discussed with OECD, EC and the Committee of Regions how they could interact with the smart regulation central strategy. The other Belgian region (Walonia) seems not to have been present. A pity neither German lander, nor Spanish communities (for a study of their regulatory work see a previous post), attended. (For more information see also post on Commitee of Regions multi-level governance and better regulation.)
