  1. Integrating market openness into the regulatory process : Good governance in the area of technical regulations Evdokia Moise OECD Trade Directorate

  2. Good regulatory practices enhance market openness Market openness reinforces domestic economic performance

  3. Six principles of efficient regulation Transparency Competition Principles Non- discrimination Market openness Avoidance of unnecessary trade restrictiveness Streamlining conformity assessment procedures Use of internationally harmonised measures

  4. Use of internationally harmonised measures • Reference to international standards as a basis for national standards and domestic regulations • Acceptance of foreign measures as functionally equivalent

  5. Streamlining conformity assessment procedures • Avoid duplicative procedures through flexible application of : • mutual recognition • unilateral recognition • supplier’s declaration of conformity • Strengthen market confidence in conformity assessment through the use of accreditation mechanisms

  6. Transparency • Predictability and accountability in making and implementing rules • Clearly-defined rule-making procedures • Consistent implementation • Public availability of information • information about existing and forthcoming standards and technical regulations • enquiry points • Public consultations • codified procedures and accountability • well timed opportunities for comments

  7. Non-discrimination • Effective balancing of interest across industry, consumers, regulators and other interested groups • Avoidance of discriminatory effects in regulation (de facto discrimination)

  8. Avoidance of unnecessary trade restrictiveness • Awareness of trade and investment implications of regulations • Analysis of anticipated effects • Use of performance rather than design criteria • Consideration of regulatory alternatives

  9. Competition principles • Avoid the emergence of anti-competitive practices • no technical regulations mirroring specific producers
