Independent better regulation council to be formed in Norway
According to a news item from Regelrådet,(the Swedish Better Regulation Council), the newly elected Norwegian government has announced in its platform that an independent better regulation council will be formed. It is to be formed based on its Swedish counterpart. The government has also set a net target of 25% for reducing costs to businesses incurred by legislation. They also intend to simplify the public reporting portal Altinn even further to secure that businesses only have to report once." There are already such oversight bodies in the NL (Actal)), the UK (RPC)) and Germany (NKR). There is other interesting news on the Regelrådet page, like the government decision to make Regelrådet a permanent feature in the Swedish legislative process.
