International work
NNR has an active engagement in better regulation work both at the EU level and within the OECD. At the EU level, NNR sometimes acts independently, but often through BusinessEurope. NNR participates in BusinessEurope’s working group for better regulation under a mandate from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise. In broader international contexts, NNR acts both independently and through BIAC’s (Business at OECD) Governance and Regulatory Policy Committee via a mandate from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise. Through this, NNR participates in meetings of the OECD’s Regulatory Policy Committee and provides comments on its work.
BIAC – the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD
Founded in 1962, the BIAC is an independent international trade organisation that represents the business community in the OECD and acts as an advisory body to decision makers in the OECD. Further information on the BIAC is available here.
The committee contributes to the work of the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee by aiming to achieve more business-friendly regulations, reduced regulatory costs for businesses and a better regulatory process through better impact assessments and evaluations of actual results of regulations and the simplification of regulation.
NNR actively works through BIAC to, among other things, provide feedback to the OECD before and during the development of the OECD Regulatory Policy Outlook and other work. NNR also contributes to the dissemination of information and discussion of the survey results by organizing seminars in Sweden.
