Program reducing regulatory burden
• Program is part of the new Dutch topsector policy
• Two strong elements: regulatory reform and smart use of ICT
• Quantitative targets for net reduction administrative burdens • Reduction of compliance costs: € 100 mln
• Preventing new regulatory burdens (national and EU)
• Qualitative targets: better public service
• Riskbased and effective business inspections
10
Programme reducing inspection costs• Riskbased: less inspections for good, trusted companies (inspection
holiday)
• Effective measures for non compliant businesses
• Political issue: working as if they are one inspection authority: close coöperation (Inspection Council)
• Cooperation in development and use of innovative methods
• Cooperation between inspectorates in monitoring companies
• Cooperation and joint development of support services : i.e. ICT, training, working-methods

More attention for prevention: how do we do?
• Impact assessment of new rules: compliance must be simple; space for innovation
• Let do the business sector what they should do: make them self- responsible
• Inspection authorities should use the expertise of the business sector and the signals of the public/consumers
• More trust for compliant companies that show their accountability
• Sharing data and information between inspectorates
12
Case: the Company file• Digital exchange of information between company and government
• An enterpreneur has the possibility to self-check the rules in force for his activity to comply
• But the company is owner of the file and defines the content
• Multiple use of up-to-date information by public national and local authorities (and private-organisations)
• Less inspections, more transparency, cost-efficiënt;
• Start 2011 in three domains (leisure, rubber/plastics, catering).

Points for attention
• The Dutch approach: joint regulatory reform for economic growth
• Importance of ambitious approach: support of EU-program and national political statements
• Focus in regulation on goals instead of specific means
• Political reality: dare not to act on incidents: take a time out
• Make use of the knowledge of the private sector to place business control on the agenda and to get support for solving problems
