ASEAN holds first RR symposium

Today ASEAN convened its first Regulatory Reform Symposium (ASEAN ARRS) as part of ongoing efforts towards regional economic integration by 2015. The invitation by the Philippine to host the ARRS was accepted during the 20th High Level Task Force on ASEAN Economic Integration meeting in Jakarta last year. The symposium aims to identify key challenges in policy formulation and address the gaps to achieve a more comprehensive regulatory reform program for specific sectors and industries.
Both supply chain connectivity and logistics are heavily affected by regulations that cut across the integration pillars. The region works to set up a single market and production base, a competitive economic region, equitable economic development, and integration into the global economy by 2015.
