Following publication of "Towards Smart Regulation in Europe" (Maggioli Editore) the university of Rome Sapienza organised on 5 April a workshop on the future of smart regulation with some 40 academics, senior officials and some of the authors of the new book. The minister of public administration and simplification, H.E. Mr F. Patroni Griffi (3rd from left), who is also a section president of the Council of State, attended most of the "incontro di studio" and summarized results of the Italian simplification policy over the past 20 years. Prof. V. Cerulli Irelli, former MP and eminent administrative lawyer, and Prof. M. D'Alberti (also from La Sapienza) showed how the principles of smart regulation were at the root of Italian simplification policy. The authors present (see photo) drew from their national and international experience key points for implementation of smart regulation policies and possible cooperation with academe. For more about the overview of better and smart regulation in Europe, see 19 February post.
