Welcome to the Swedish Better Regulation Council
The work of the Swedish Better Regulation Council is intended to simplify day-to-day conditions for entrepreneurs in Sweden. The experience of other countries shows that an independent examination of all new and amended regulations provides a possibility of reducing unnecessary administrative burdens arising from regulations. The task of the Swedish Better Regulation Council is therefore to review proposals for new or amended legislation from ministries and government agencies that may have effects on businesses. The remit of the Council is to focus primarily on the administrative costs resulting from a new or amended regulation and to examine the quality of the impact analysis. The Council is part of Government Action Plan for Regulatory Simplification. This is the first annual report issued by the Swedish Better Regulation Council and it describes what the Council has accomplished in the year 2009.
The Council is an independent committee that comes under the Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications. It consist of four members and be assisted by a Secretariat.
