The development of a regulatory framework which meets international standards is a major concern in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as it is key not only to fostering economic development but also to ensuring the wellbeing of its citizens. To achieve this goal, it is important to: create a sound institutional structure; employ staff qualified in law drafting; set up efficient procedures for co-ordination and consultation; and ensure that the possible impact of new legal instruments is assessed before adopted. The prime objective of the World Bank in supporting the KRG Shura Council remains an improved guide consistent with international standards that can be used by all relevant parties in charge of drafting all types of legislation in the KRG. In keeping with better regulation principles, the authority and impact of the guide are to be achieved more by the relevance of its contents and the quality of its practical advice than by the strength of the legal instrument that seeks to enforce it. This will help to maximize the benefits of the guide in the KRG. In this context, the official use of the guide to legislative drafting should become mandatory. This could be achieved either through making the guide an integral part of a new law on legislative drafting to be passed by the parliament in the KRG under penalty of 0ity of any draft law that violates this rule.Date

Bulgaria's Policy for Regulatory Reform in the European Union : Converging with Europe's Best Regulatory EnvironmentsWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-03-15)Bulgaria's entry into the EU Single Market raises new opportunities and new risks for the national economy. As shown in the rest of Europe, a program of regulatory reform offers an effective strategy for managing the risks of more intense competition while preparing Bulgarian companies to prosper within the largest economy in the world. Bulgaria has already made significant progress in regulatory reform, with an emphasis on developing regulatory impact analysis (RIA) in Bulgaria's public administration. To support these activities, the Council of Ministers agreed in August 2006 to the proposal of the Ministry of Economy and Energy to develop a national plan for better regulation. The goal is to progressively achieve a low-cost, low-risk regulatory system that both supports national competitiveness and effectively protects public interests. To achieve its potential, Bulgaria should converge, not with a minimum standard of regulatory reform, but with the best performers in Europe. This policy paper identifies nine tasks for setting up a modern regulatory system and meeting European obligations. These nine tasks are intended to improve the ability of the central government to promote regulatory reform, to build better regulation practices through the institutions of governments, and to improve the quality of both the stock and the flow of regulation on a permanent basis.

Regulatory Capacity Review of KenyaInternational Finance Corporation; Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency; World Bank (Washington, DC, 2017-08-15)Regulatory reform has emerged as an
 important policy area in developing countries. For reforms
 to be beneficial, regulatory regimes need to be transparent,
 coherent, and comprehensive. They must establish appropriate
 institutional frameworks and liberalized business
 regulations; enforce competition policy and law; and open
 external and internal markets to trade and investment. This
 report examines the institutional set-up for and use of
 regulatory policy instruments in Kenya. It is one of five
 reports prepared on countries in East and Southern Africa
 (the others are on Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania).
 The report is based on a review of public documents prepared
 by the government, donors, and the private sector, and on a
 limited number of interviews with key institutions and individuals.
