Better regulation at Fera
In July 2009 the Better Regulation Executive (BRE) undertook an assessment of Fera's regulatory performance against the Hampton principles (642KB PDF) and Macrory characteristics (464KB PDF) of effective inspection and enforcement. The Hampton and Macrory reports are concerned with effective regulation - achieving regulatory outcomes in a way that minimises the burdens imposed on business. Better regulation is underpinned by the notion that regulators should be risk-based and proportionate in their decision making, transparent and accountable for their actions and should recognise their role in encouraging economic progress. The BRE's assessment report (310KB PDF) was published in December 2009.
