Description
The "Simplify Italy" Decree (early 2012) introduced an additional programme that confirms the commitment to cost measurement and reduction by consultation with citizens and business up until 2015. Consultation of relevant categories, besides simplifying existing regulation, also serves the purpose of streamlining future regulations: the Statute of Businesses (approved by Parliament at the end of 2011) provides for consultation of stakeholder organisations also in respect of new legislation in terms of ex-ante assessment of red tape impact of new regulations.
