    Goals / Remit

    RegWatchEurope is a network of independent regulatory advisory bodies that play a significant role in scrutinising the impacts of new legislation in their domestic constituencies. We challenge and advise our national respective governments on various aspects of better regulation and on the overall regulatory burden of legislation to business.

    Most of RWE's work is with regard to national legislation and regulation. We are interested in all EU initiatives and policies that are regulatory in nature. This is with a view to improving regulatory scrutiny and the quality of such regulation, not its policy content.

    Main EU files targeted

    As a network, we collaborate to achieve the following:

    To strengthen our own expertise by exchanging knowledge and sharing best practice;
    To strengthen the EU approach on better regulation;
    To inform other (European) countries on the added value of external and independent scrutiny of impact assessments through bilateral contact; national platforms, or through international organisations;
    To advise our governments on the quality of EU impact assessments.

    Furthermore, we collaborate with the Regulatory Scrutiny Board, the independent scrutiny body of the European Commission, by exchanging knowledge and expertise. And we contribute to the work on oversight of the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee.

    The board of RegWatchEurope is formed by the chairs of the member-bodies.
