Economic and development policy/planning

The Public Consultation process is a relevant action taken by economies in order to enhance the quality of their regulatory frameworks and to promote open, well-functioning, transparent and competitive markets. This project will identify and develop International Best Practices for Conducting Public Consultation and to enhance the effective participation of stakeholders in APEC economies, via two workshops. In the first workshop (in a different City in Mexico, such as Cancun, Mexico on April, 2015), experts, regulatory agencies and oversight bodies from APEC economies will share experiences regarding public consultation tools that they have been implementing. In the second workshop (in Mexico City on September, 2015), Mxico will conduct a public-private dialog between the enterprises and chambers of commerce from APEC economies and its public servants in charge of regulatory reform policy, in order to take ideas to increase the involvement and good perception of the stakeholders in the elaboration of regulation. The workshops will serve as a source for learning and documenting the best practices (Guide to conduct an effective and inclusive Public Consultation: International Best Practices December, 2015), in order to establish in Mexico specific criteria for a formal public consultation procedure and comply with 2011 Mexicos ANSSR Plan.
