| |
| − | In the report <i>EU REGULATION: A CHALLENGE FOR US BUSINESSES</i> <ref>Smith, L. & Connell, A. (2005) [http://www.mediahouseusa.com/news/items/US_Business.html EU REGULATION: A CHALLENGE FOR US BUSINESSES] Media House Commercial Intelligence Team. Accessed 29th January 2008</ref>, the Media House Commercial Intelligence Team write of how they are concerned at how 'Europe’s stringent environmental standards entail a substantial financial and bureaucratic burden' for many American Companies. They voice a resistance to new regulations designed to protect our environment stating that 'Europe has been under intense pressure to stem the flow of new environment laws' They go on to add that 'there is a hope, given the economic downturn, the issues over expansion and the constitution that the appetite for new legislation may be blunted. Indeed the European Commission President [[Jose Manual Barroso]] has just launched the region’s biggest ever de-regulation campaign; supported by the UK and its ‘better regulation agenda’.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'better regulation agenda' they refer to is that of the then called [[Better Regulation Task Force]] (now know as the [[Better Regulation Commission]], which was replaced by the [[Risk and Regulation Advisory Council]] in 2008<ref> Times Online [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3193500.ece Risk assessment watchdog set up to halt march of the nanny state] Accessed 29th January 2008</ref>). The Better Regulation Task Force (BRTF) was set up in 1997 as an 'independent advisory body' to advise the Government on regulatory action. The BRTF went on to ‘become a very influential body in influencing the Government's policy on regulation’<ref> Centre for Corporate Accountability [http://www.corporateaccountability.org/regulation/brtf/main.htm Better Regulation Task Froce] Accessed 29th January 2008</ref>.
