MINISTRY OF ECONOMY Guidelines for the Regulation Impact Assessment
48
the regulation’s disapproval is low, we should focus on the most
sensitive areas and groups.
We must then consider which subjects and institutions may be helpful in
introducing the regulation. NGOs, such as, producers’ associations or
organisations protecting the consumers’ rights, may often play a more
important role than public institutions.
If an active form of implementing the regulation was chosen, we will
probably have to use the help of special institutions responsible for the
process. We must then provide a detailed description of procedures and
means to be used by these regulation (policy) implementing institutions.
It will be necessary also to ensure adequate level of co-ordination of
actions performed by such as regulation implementing system.
If one of the proposed options requires appointing a new institution
responsible for it, we must justify why the job cannot be done by any of
the existing institutions.
A system of penalties for failure to obey the new regulations should also
be judged as part of the regulation introduction and enforcement plan.
The idea of penalty is a deterrent against breaking the regulations.
Tip: Adjustment to new regulations needs time. When introducing penalties, we
must remember to give the interested subjects enough time to get adjusted to the new
regulations and their system of penalties.
It is good to consult the penalty system too. During the consultation, the
interested parties should be informed about the considered options of
penalty system with their fine scale from minor breaches up to the
penalties for major, habitual breaking of the new regulations.
The key to penalty effectiveness is its imminence. Any proposed system
of penalties should ensure quick, fair, independent, and inexpensive
execution of the penalties.
When designing a system of penalties, we should consult the lawyers
and the respective department in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Administration.
The next stage should focus on planning and building a monitoring
system for each option of the proposed policy or regulation. This will
allow to have regular assessment of the policy performance, its
enforcement according to the regulation’s provisions, and the adopted
goals.
Section 2 defines the goals and their rank, and it describes the principles
of the SMART method. Now, having analysed all its components, we
should define the implementation of the regulation’s goal again.
We should consider using the available monitoring mechanisms which
can often be used to check the performance of a new regulation. And we
should clearly identify who is responsible for the monitoring.
Monitoring must be used adequately with the needs. When building the
system, we should define the frequency of checks.
